I discovered that both planets have much more in common at a deeper level, than they have different superficially.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">For example, they have some fundamental suffering in common. Like planet microfinance, the worst disease of planet privilege is ignorance. On both planets, it is a phenomenon carefully engineered and curated to propagate a status quo that advantages the local overlords at everyone else’s expense. \u003Cem class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">I really don’t think people wake up in the morning and decide to be stupid — they are taught to be.\u003C\u002Fem>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Conversely, both planets also have a fundamental dignity in common. As in planet privilege, the most redemptive aspect of planet microfinance is courage. Like planet microfinance, where some people wake up in the morning knowing they will never be able to afford a car, people in planet privilege wake up in the morning knowing that they will never own a private jet like their boss’s boss’s boss might.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp id=\"bafd\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Nevertheless, citizens on both planets feel that they might move the needle just a little bit by teaching their 3 year old that they can have better aspirations than owning a car or flying in a private jet when they grow up. To inculcate the desire to have an education instead of a car in planet microfinance, or the desire to make the world a better place instead of having a jet in planet privilege, takes courage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">Ultimately, the world is a shared dream and dreams are reflections of our innermost desires and aspirations. The suffering and joy we experience are bounded only by the sophistication and beauty of our desires and aspirations. Thus, having vulgar aspirations contributes to a vulgar world. It’s vulgar to think that a CEO deserves to make 250 times the salary of people they lord over, much as it is vulgar to believe one can cure himself of HIV by having sex with a teenage virgin. Both beliefs, at their core, acknowledge an ignorant and false supposition that one human being’s dignity can be ranked above another’s. I’m afraid that this pernicious vulgarity seems to be multiplying in both planet microfinance and planet privilege.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp id=\"d813\" class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">So, at the midpoint, one thing I’ve learned is that the path to a better world begins in the process of elevating our individual desires and aspirations, and defending those aspirations and desires worth defending.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp class=\"graf graf--p graf-after--p\">\u003Cstrong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">\u003Cem class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">What are your aspirations?

Oh, and did I mention the water shortages? Planning the number of times you’re going to flush your toilet in advance (since your water reserves are limited) is an art, I shit you not.     Gotta love the news headlines… sure made Easter egg hunting much more challenging     Thankfully, the FINCA office where I work has its own generator, and when I’m at home, my trusty charge bank has plenty of juice to keep my Kindle’s backlight running. The stash of candles I keep makes reading the few books I brought along with me (and journalling) a very romantic affair in the evenings.  I don’t think I’ll ever read or handwrite with electric powered light again. I surmise that maybe after thousands of years, our brains evolved to be better thinkers, readers and writers under candlelight, with the flickering wick somehow juicing our neurons to go into overdrive. But denied the soft orange incandescent glow that used to guide minds in the past, I’m afraid we may have become stupider by the  blue ligh t of our laptops and smartphone screens (yes, I’m writing on a laptop right now for all you ad-hominem smartasses out there).    Truly though, it isn’t much of a stretch to say we are stupider because of our technology. There are entire teams of very smart people at Google and Facebook and other places with bean bag chairs as office furniture who are reverse engineering the mind to ensure that we are  addicted  to our screens and the apps on them. Last I checked maximizing the addictiveness of a product was the specialized craft of people like Tony Montana (you know, the drug dealer in Scarface) and big tobacco.   Not nice.  But these are trifles. Truly first world problems. When you don’t have a screen to stare at, you have to take in what’s around you. I mean, look at this view:     Blue Zebra Lodge, where the Malawian elite (and volunteers from Canada) meet to eat (and swim and relax)     Or this one from a regularly epic hike:     Photo credit to my hombre & Malawian mountain guide, Chinga     Perhaps no power, no Internet, and no Netflix (but some candlelight) is the necessary recipe to be able to read three or four books a month and cultivate some perspective, a nd I mean chapter books, yo.  It is truly refreshing to change the intellectual diet from those idiotic lists we all like to read while maintaining the perception of our impressive productivity at the office. You know the literature I’m talking about. The ones with titles like “8 ways you can be a better person”, “12 ways to get ripped abs”, or “10 ways to get promoted”.  Look, I’d be a liar to say that tech hasn’t been a lifesaver. Obviously it would be much harder to stay in touch with friends via trans-Atlantic carrier pigeon, but unplugging  for a while  and having to actually listen to myself think instead of watching Paul Giamatti and Damian Lewis go at it in “Billions” has been a blessing that I think we should all give a try.  A tale of two planets  That space will give you time to reflect on the state of affairs of the world — your world. By surrounding myself with simplicity (or the foul odour of a toilet that needs a good flush), it’s hard not to feel like I’m on a different planet — let's call it  planet microfinance  — where Netflix has been replaced by watching\",\"headline\":\"Midpoint musings\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\\\u002Fuploads\\\u002F_1200x630_crop_center-center_82_none\\\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg?mtime=1714067133\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci.org\\\u002Fen\\\u002Fvolunteer-blog\\\u002Fmidpoint-musings\",\"name\":\"Midpoint musings\",\"publisher\":{\"@id\":\"#creator\"},\"url\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci.org\\\u002Fen\\\u002Fvolunteer-blog\\\u002Fmidpoint-musings\"},\"identity\":{\"@context\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fschema.org\",\"@id\":\"#identity\",\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"address\":{\"@type\":\"PostalAddress\",\"addressCountry\":\"Canada\",\"addressLocality\":\"Montréal\",\"addressRegion\":\"Québec\",\"postalCode\":\"H1Y3R8\",\"streetAddress\":\"3000, Omer-Lavallée\"},\"alternateName\":\"CECI\",\"description\":\"CECI is an international cooperation organization founded in 1958 that combats poverty and exclusion through sustainable development projects in Africa, Asia and the Americas.\",\"email\":\"info@ceci.ca\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"height\":\"260\",\"url\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fpreprod.ceci.ca\\\u002Fuploads\\\u002FCECI_Logo-Main.png\",\"width\":\"207\"},\"logo\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"height\":\"600\",\"url\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\\\u002Fuploads\\\u002F_600x600_fit_center-center_82_none\\\u002FCECI_Logo-Main.png?mtime=1710339706\",\"width\":\"478\"},\"name\":\"Center of Studies and International Cooperation\",\"telephone\":\"514 875 9911\"},\"creator\":{\"@context\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fschema.org\",\"@id\":\"#creator\",\"@type\":\"Organization\"},\"breadcrumbList\":{\"@context\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fschema.org\",\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"description\":\"Breadcrumbs list\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"item\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci.org\\\u002Fen\",\"name\":\"Home\",\"position\":1},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"item\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci.org\\\u002Fen\\\u002Fvolunteer-blog\",\"name\":\"Inspiring stories from our volunteers\",\"position\":2},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"item\":\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fceci.org\\\u002Fen\\\u002Fvolunteer-blog\\\u002Fmidpoint-musings\",\"name\":\"Midpoint musings\",\"position\":3}],\"name\":\"Breadcrumbs\"}}",[1381],{"titleElement":478,"linkElement":1382,"placeholderHeaderImage":1384,"ctaComponent":1401},{"ariaLabel":6,"customText":1383,"target":256,"url":93,"type":258},"Discover more news",[1385],{"url":1386,"width":1387,"height":1388,"legend":6,"title":1389,"alt":6,"caption":6,"generic":1390,"genericDesktop":1391,"genericTablet":1392,"genericMobile":1393,"genericWebp":1394,"genericDesktopWebp":1395,"genericTabletWebp":1396,"genericMobileWebp":1397,"focalPoint":1398},"https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg",1920,731,"Hero placeholder","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1920x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1440x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1024x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_750x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002Fhero-placeholder.jpg","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1920x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002F234354\u002Fhero-placeholder.webp","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1440x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002F234354\u002Fhero-placeholder.webp","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_1024x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002F234354\u002Fhero-placeholder.webp","https:\u002F\u002Fceci-ressources.nyc3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\u002Fuploads\u002F_750x9999_fit_center-center_90_none\u002F234354\u002Fhero-placeholder.webp",[1399,1400],0.4994,0.4786,[1402],{"surtitleElement":1403,"titleElement":1404,"children":1405},"Stay informed","Subscribe to our newsletter and be the first to know!",[1406],{"linkElement":1407},{"ariaLabel":6,"customText":1408,"target":256,"url":287,"type":258},"Subscribe"]
