This story is just an analogy.


A woman in a village inherited a gold grinding stone from her mother. The gold grinding stone had no use to her other than to grind pepper, tomatoes and other cooking items. She liked it because it was different from everyone else’s.

One day a white man came to this remote village and saw this woman grinding tomatoes with her gold grinding stone she inherited and sweating as when one grinds pepper with a grinding stone. In exchange for her gold grinding stone, the white man gave the woman a blender and an electricity generator.

The woman was very happy as she now grinds more tomatoes quicker in a less stressful manner. Moreover, she alone had such a grinder.

Was the white man a kind man, a business man or en exploiter?
