I met a lawyer the other day who suggested that we are all to pre-occupied with governments and politicians. We give them far to much credence for what the they do NOT do, even though they spend a lot of time telling us what they (think) they actually do.
She (the lawyer) reminded me that hundreds of non government organisations (NGOs) actually do their work, often selflessly, but certainly effectively – for people at the ground level. And this they do, in spite of what governments and politicians say or (don’t) do.
She went on to suggest that if all NGOs got together, they (we) could run the country. Now, there’s an inspiring thought….
