Doing good to prevent evil

As the people in Egypt are suffering from the financial crisis, many people start storing food and other stuff that they fear will disappear from the markets or its prices are getting higher. Some people add that the increasing prices will cause many people to commit crimes in order to provide for their families. I indeed share such fears with them, but I believe there is much better way to face it.

In such hard circumstances, everybody usually think how to sustain the life of his own and his children. People may care about storing food, but they rarely think about other people starving. This is what makes the crises even bigger. Therefore, I suggest that people in Egypt should do more good and help more poor people in order to prevent this evil from reaching their homes.
 
Most of the people in the region are suffering, especially the poor. Therefore, those who are able to donate should donate more in order to support the starving people. I call on people from around the world to support the poor in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, and other countries in the region that the Arab spring took away their jobs and destroyed their economy. This time doing good is crucial as it comes to prevent evil as well.
