    For how long?

    It is not realistic to suggest that a person alone, without access to resources, creates abundance without support from other people while somehow finding shelter and food.

    A person does not create civilization, and if you want to make an apple pie from scratch you must first invent the universe.

      It would be ethical for any amount of time. Isn’t that what Mother Theresa did?

        “Mother Theresa” was an awful person.

          But were her actions ethical?

              Excuse me if I don’t take your word for it.

        No. That is not what she did.

        She was an ideological tool and not some kind of exemplar.

        A most charitable description of her would be that she was the symbolic representative of an ideologically motivated charity.

            She was a bad person portrayed as a good one, she was definitely not “ethical”.

                  This is the most ridiculous list of “indictments” I have ever read. She was unethical because she didn’t try to politically lift millions of people out of poverty? Because she couldn’t get qualified nurses and doctors to work there? Get out of here with this.

                    She literally made people suffer on their death beds so that they would go to heaven faster, but for herself it was high quality liluxury treatments. You gotta be kidding me, or are you christian or something ?
