It's called "community." It is the way humans used to treat each other so that we didn't rely on Government to support everyone everywhere.
"Take care of him and I will repay thee" - a shortened version of "And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee"
Society as it should be. Caring for each other in times of need. Instead we now have a welfare state.
If you chose not to help someone with whom you may have a shared passion or interest, fine. But don't be a dick about it. Ths isn't raining on someone's parade because they couldn't send their project that you consider weakmo - this is somene that died and left behind friends and family.
