I lived in that condition(or a little worse) continuously for more than 15 years, and I have been seeing similar pictures ever since. So your guess about personal experience is as wrong as my guess u never had such experience :) And this led to your "too simple, naive" conclusion ;)

Personal experience may explain sth, but not all things. Maybe more important is the so-called sympathetic understanding, or what Russell refers to as a passion: the unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind.

I respect and admire people seeking knowledge, surely including Latino, and that's why i come to this forum. But I would like to end this post with the penultimate paragraph of Russell's preface to his autobiography:

Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortuted by opressors, helpless old people a hated burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer.
