I visited Casino in 2009, a slum in Molo, Kenya. Upon my return I went to a Starbucks. There were three woman conducting a business meeting. One was the owner and the others managers of a salon. The conversation was of who they may let go, how to increase skills and fees, what kind of waxes, hair extension training/equipment and finally the planning of a Botox party. My own excesses over a half a lifetime leave me no room to be critical or in anyway judgmental. But the contradiction of having seen children starving to death weeks prior and the excesses we reach in our everyday lives is astounding. It's all around us - great consumption absurdity. I'm as guilty as anyone else. I know life isn't fair, but still - people can be fair. As individuals we can choose to be fair.
