🤳 Moral Performance and Absence of Reason: Refusing Donations Needs No Reason, and Certainly No Public Statement!

This article criticizes the behavior of some individuals (e.g., Friend A) who publicly declared their refusal to donate during the 2015 Nepal earthquake relief efforts and listed reasons. The author believes that donating is a personal freedom, but publicly advocating the idea of refusing to donate is a "moral performance" lacking external validation. The author emphasizes that the real issue is not whether to donate, but whether there is a need to use media information such as "Nepalese government refusing Taiwan"s aid" or "donations being treated as year-end bonuses" as excuses to cover up one"s unwillingness to contribute. The author argues that this behavior shifts "empathy" for victims to an over-interpretation of "unseen negative delusions," which is "the stupidity of hearsay" rather than "the wisdom of foresight." It calls for straightforward conduct: if you don"t want to donate, don"t, and there"s no need to make excuses for yourself.
