Thank you for posting the confession of an aid worker, not because it provides anything insightful, but because without meaning to it poses the fundamental question of “why?”. In any endeavor (esp IDEV), the pursuit of happiness is a shaky, self centered foundation at best. Would be interested to hear from readers what motivations ARE sustaining in the face of realities like genocide.
