Somehow success and prosperity really manages to mess up our value system. Hanneke once mentioned to me how she enjoys walking to the shop in Gotsilitsa not feeling conscious about what she is wearing.
This made me realize that things like fashion and cosmetic surgery do not exist in Gotsilitsa. I began to wonder why people (including myself) get trapped into spend money on things that does not make any contribution the welfare of society in any way. We seem to be trapped in a process of moving resources (money) from those who have to those who have more, to acquire things that actually are of no real value. . .
Shouldn’t resources rather move from those who have to those who are in desperate need to accomplish something of real value? Something like saving a live for now and for eternity . . .
One of the wonders of mission.
