social requirement or social option???

i remember doing a comprehension just a week or two ago.
a comprehension which i did badly in
the application question was "is feeding the hungry a moral requirement or moral option?"
i wrote it has to be a moral requirement- that was how i felt
but after asking around-- i changed it to moral option.

i kinda regretted my choice
firstly, i didn't write about how i really felt about the issue
and secondly, it was probably why i did so badly for that test(i could've written much more if i had stuck to what i believed)

into the topic.
since i didn't do the issue justice the last time, i shall try again

i really believe that helping the poor, feeding the hungry and all is a moral requirement
the comprehension mention(ed)<--- can someone tell me if it is past or present tense?(mr tan never fails to circle this word whenever i do a comprehension) that some expert Dr. blah(can't remember his name) believes that we should just let the hungry die- to end their sufferings
he believes that it is the "survival of the fittest" and it is nature's way of eliminating the weaker species.

for me, i do not agree with him at all
tell me how you feel when you looked at those pictures?
they are like just the most unlucky bunch of kids i know
do they wanna be born in an area where food is so scarce?
do they even have a choice?
i have to admit
i throw most of my rice away every dinner no matter how my mum screams at me at the dinner table.
but apart from that i still wanna help these people.

i feel that it is human nature to help
and i so do not think that anyone just sit and watch people struggle
i know that Singaporeans are very weary of donation drives after the NKF incident
but we shouldn't let one bad experience stop us from what we believe in right?

i know helping someone may seem uncool and all
but the sense of satisfaction you get after that is priceless- you can quote me on that
i know that
because i feel the same way
let the angels do the helping. we just sit and laugh at them
but when i saw this blind lady who needed help, it just came naturally
and don't laugh, cause it felt good

lend someone a helping hand the next time
you won't regret it
