Mixed race girl in Poland, good idea? [149]
I have no guilt nor responsibility for anything someone in the past did.
Unfortunately slave labour still exists, and most people in most countries aren't doing anything about this. Quite the contrary actually, most people even profit or benefit from this injustice.
It's also our responsibility though, because we can choose not to buy the cheapest clothes made by children, and we can choose not to outsource to countries where people are basically exploited, and in most cases forced to work for little or nothing. We can choose to pay people in Africa a fair price for their resources.
I find it humorous that you imagine anyone could. Guilt is a reaction to having done something wrong.
Well, even if it's not you who's doing it, you are just as much a part of the bigger scheme as I am, and I'm just going to say that most of us simply don't care enough, and basically allow these things to happen. So in a sense we're all guilty.
I didn't do any of those things. I live my life well and give to others when I can. I do not own slaves and do not waste in life.
Like I've said previously, we may not own slaves, but we allow companies to use people as slaves. So in a way we do have slaves who perform certain tasks for us. Think about that for a second.
