Thea makes strong argument for compelling institutional compassion

"There are ways to serve others that do not infringe on a person's basic human rights. It would be lovely if everyone sought out these ways to serve willingly, unfortunately, humans do tend to be somewhat egocentric. The government can be helpful in determining (through the democratic process) ways in which it is helpful for all of us to serve others, for example Social Insurance, Unemployment insurance, Welfare, public housing. etc. There may be challenges and problems in administrating these social networks that could be improved, but they are helpful to our society."
