Too often normal behaviour in our society is selfish, greedy, narrow-minded, prejudiced - and cruel to those who are weaker or different from others. We live in a world where too often it is normal and acceptable for the rich to live at the expense of the poor, and for health professionals to earn many times the wages of those who produce their food but cannot afford their services. We live on a wealthy planet where most children do not get enough to eat, where half the people have never seen a trained health worker, and where poverty is a major cause of disability and early death. And yet the world leaders spend 50 billion dollars every 3 weeks on the instruments of war - an amount that could provide primary health care to everyone on earth for an entire year. - 14/jmt©
