I think he bothered that ordinary poor people were getting a bad deal, Sadly, he didn't realise that his attempt to engender kindness in many people would fail - he underestimated the widespread lack of empathy and the power of 'rotten apple' syndrome and the 'tragedy of the commons.'

There are more good apples in every harvest than bad ones, whether they follow the teachings of Jesus or not.

Some people are very rude indeed though.

Mamy, it's true what you say, but one bad apple affects some of the rest. I try not to be rude, but if you thought I was, then I apologise.

It was someone else I was referring to, not you.
