With any story I write, I could actually write it from three or four different perspectives, which would end with a completely different moral at the end. ↗

I've a problem with the word charity because I think that NGOs, as I prefer calling them, really do take the work of moral and social responsibilities that ought to be taken on by governments. ↗

The real evil with which we have to contend is not the physical evil of the Famine, but the moral evil of the selfish, perverse and turbulent character of the people. ↗
