Are you telling me that if Ethiopians are compassionate about other helpless Ethiopians, these natural and man-mad disasters such as famine, hunger, draught, and many other diseases would never happen? To tell you the truth, I grew up in Ethiopia and have visited most of the provinces, and I don’t have to quote Herodotus about the generosities, compassions, and kindness of the Ethiopian people. I have seen Ethiopians helping other Ethiopians: For example, during harvest season, I have seen some young Ethiopians harvesting the other Ethiopian person’s field because the person who owned the field was sick and could not do it by himself. I have seen other Ethiopians building a house for another helpless Ethiopian. I have seen men and women going to the funeral service of a poor man who died of age but no one knew from where he was. I have seen this multitude of good Ethiopians encouraging, supporting, feeding, sheltering, clothing, and inspiring thousands of helpless Ethiopians. Of course, we may have some greedy, selfish, dishonest, immoral, mendacious, and heartless Ethiopians whose identities are not hidden from the rest of other Ethiopians, and such greedy people are the products of modern education. So I don’t see where the paradoxical statements are at this point.

"Ethiopians are compassionate about helpless", and it is the most and, may be, the only country (on its frequent famine and hunger, almost every year) known for its hunger and famine, and deathes. What a paradox?
Thanks
