A deadly virus

Today's Headline:

KPK Detains Ex-Health Ministry Director in Bird Flu Vaccine Case

This is only one step above stealing Hadj funds. Both are just about as low as one can get. One steals from the religious following one of the 5 major pillars of their faith and the other steal the ability to treat the sick.

There seems to be a total disconnect between people in government positions and the actual people they are supposed to be serving. There is no conscience nor compassion for those who are adversely affected by their actions. It is a total lack of empathy with anyone outside their family circle.

I am quite sure that these people do not even think that what they have done is wrong. They will believe they are entitled to it because they are in official positions, "serve" the country and do not get paid enough plus of course everybody does it.

They even go to Friday prayers and pray for forgiveness believing that in the end their god will forgive when a true act of contrition is presented at the end of their lives.

A deadly virus that runs so very deep.
