I know this probably is not the case, but I am wondering of others' opinions on this. I would consider my living standards and life as fairly well off in the United States. For my family, friends, and provisions I am extremely thankful. Could my willingness to travel to and aid in development be due to my past provision?
For instance, citizens of developing countries may want to just improve their livlihoods to a level they have not yet seen. Perhaps that means moving to a higher status in their own country or moving to a more developed country. As I travel through Ghana, I mention that I am from the US and several would like to go there. I love the US as well, but they might want to see a better life for themselves there.
So, is it that those who have much to start will find it easier to give it up for something different? It seems to be a paradox but at least for me I feel I have been given many blessings and I want to help others with that. I am sure it could go the other way as well.
