Hi Ho Dong! First off, while I have never been to Brazil myself, my mom traveled there for work quite frequently during the earlier stages of her career in the fashion industry. Your reference to Operation Car Wash got me thinking about some of the stories she told me about the levels of poverty in Brazil, and what she referred to as the lack of respect for humanity she encountered during her travels there. The sight of people stepping on homeless kids laying on the street while going from place to place, across the road from luxury housing areas with visible poverty lines such as the one in this famous picture, for example, has stuck with her ever since she first traveled there. She still talks about it now, over a decade since her last trip to Brazil. While I still feel that events such as the attack on the Capitol do present real threats to democracy, I understand your indifference after having been exposed to much more extreme instances of destabilizing behavior. I also struggle to balance wanting to provide myself and my family (someday in the future) with a comfortable life versus aspiring to make a palpable change in the lives of children who otherwise may never have a chance to prosper themselves, and have spoken to Eben about this as well. I appreciate your perspective, and always find reading about what led people toward their desired career balance helpful. Thanks for sharing.
