Which implies that
Hm, you're poor, which makes you more empathic to the 3rd world problems. It's not because you're good at heart for more than 5 minutes, but because your own misery associates you with the other poor.

I was there, not eating for 2 days in a row sometimes, while having a lot of fun in it, actually. But there were a lot of depressing times, also.

Things changed. I'm well of now, which made me realize that, while you have some cash to spare, you can't care about every poor living in the world. Life for some people sucks, that's a fact.

So every now and then I help some people: buy them beer, give them work, nothing much. It's more a reward on merit to those who need it.

But charity to people 10000 miles away is a lost cause and I deeply hate the arrogance of trying to make somebody feel guilty for some poor chap dying in Botswana.

George Dawes What Are The Scores
If you said:

- "Gosh I'm starving" and someone replied 'You're not starving, there's children in Africa dying of hunger', then award yourself by kicking their sanctimonious cunt right in! Yay!

- "Fuck that noise, I'm off to the pub" - congratulations, you also win.

Have grown up to seriously dislike and loathe in equal portions domestic attempts to make me feel concerned for starving hordes while trying to vilify me with some misplaced sense of guilt. I have food, thanks, and I do because I work for it and am lucky enough to live somewhere where I don't have to kill someone to get it. I don't need a guilt trip every time I put a spoon or fork to my gob, so take your ill-aimed charity shot, stick it up your arse, and fuck off while doing so.
