If we are the world and we want to help, why is there still so much hate?

With the new release of We are the World to help bring focus to Haiti and raise funds for their devastated country, we are reminded that there are more countries that need help than those that do not need help. Why is it that it takes such devastating events for the rest of the world to take notice and want to help? Why can't we always come together and help each other instead of hating because we don't understand each other and fear their culture.

Why does it take a major natural disaster to pull us together? Why do we terrorize other countries simply because they are different from us? If we are the world and we want to help, why is there so much hate?

An earthquake in Haiti? A tsunami along the coasts of many Asian countries and even Africa? A hurricane in New Orleans? Mudslides? Tornados? Floods? Blizzards? Why do we wait for one of those events to care?

We need to come together and help those less fortunate than us without waiting on a reason. Just get in there and help because you care.
