yes (interesting) and yes, I'm feeling a serious burnout.
sort of a starved feeling after processing all this mentalizing. Day five wf, and I seem to have gone deeper, faster.

I will say this though. I lived in Africa as a teen with my mother, who was working there assisting several people at the Tanzanian Tourist Commission; she was on loan from the Canadain gov't.

And she and her group did a lot of 'mentalizing' over the whole issue of starving Africans, and concluded that many who were being saved were actually too far reduced to ever be able to come back to "normal" development. There was often a sort of cruelty and self-aggrandizamnt in "bringing tham back". This conclusion was not without compassion and all, but based on real seeing, and probably studies...Gives you food for thought though, doesn't it?

Uou might say it sort of wickedly serves the worst of the so-called developed world to keep the "developing world"
sup-par, but functioning, while so much is made of giving a couple hundred thousand mosquito nets to some Africans, when these are donated by the big corps. who have at least one hand in the "new world order AND get a nice tax write-off, and kudos... and then there's the big "AIDS"
charity -- Ah, these people need help with real nutrition, not more drugs and conditioning.

ah well. enough from me. time for a warming-up bath. It feels like september in June.
