Speaking from my ‘Real life’ experience, I conclude: Unconditional, excessive aid and emotional or political support often leads to misuse, or chronic laziness which is wrapped in low self-esteem and shrouded in hopelessness.
In extreme cases, it creates communities of psychopathic, violent perverts, as is evident in the utopian, most privileged place of Palestine, where donations and misguided sympathy by gullible people and agencies from all over the world have been misused to fund cold blooded terrorist massacres.
I recall, when travelling through Egypt, back in 1980, we found food aid destined for the starving clearly labelled as a donation from various countries, being sold in very expensive shops. In the late 1970’s our donations made in ‘good faith’ for the church in Cambodia, were used by the Khmer Rouge to brutally torcher and slaughter half of its population, including babies.
