you've got to stop believing

that PNG salvation is in Donor countries giving more aid. Western countries have to stop believing that their salvation is in government's doing what communities of people ought to be doing for themselves. I'm a volunteer in this country because I CAN be at this level but volunteering does not necessarily mean having to sacrifice beyond what you are capable of. But it does mean realising that some things are more important than money. If you believe in things like fairness, justice, equality, right, then that puts you in a minority. These values are not accepted by most people. If they were, it would not be a matter of BELIEVING in them - they would be factual just like the sun rising regularly is factual. But you do have to believe in fairness, justice, right and equality. If you believe in them, they've got to be worth believing in. And if they're worth believing in then they've got to be worth more than money otherwise it's mauswara or bullshit. What you believe in are called principles and a lot of people tell you they stand for principles. But if as many who told you they believed in principles actually practiced those principles, then the principles would be fact. So the young members of Transparency International have to work out whether they BELIEVE in the values of the organisation they joined.
