Every venture for good needs to be tempered against the morality of its substance. If not then we can get ‘wall street success, with wall street morals’.
But hey we are acting as though it will be easy to break the status quo of Pakistan. Not likely.
The man on the street has no interest in the bigger picture. If people are not mugged, then a cop will need to be bribed, if not that then a gunda will need to be paid to keep the gangs away.
Coffee, cameras and soap in themselves are ok. However, coffee has many ethical issues when countries that produce it must do so to sustain their weak economies and are left with less land to grow their own food. Cameras have bought no increase in morality and soap will make our bodies clean, but not our souls.
I say this again. Go there make a difference … but can you make a ‘real’ difference by helping to work towards a moral society as well? If you have this ‘motive’ then I support your struggle.
