“I wanted to be able to live in the world so that I could live with myself. I wanted to do something practical to relieve the suffering of others, while at the same time striving to understand the circumstances of such suffering.” ― James Orbinski

We are not sure that words can always save lives, but we know that silence can certainly kill
Dr. James OrbinskiÂ
before you use the term #firstworldproblems
FIRST WORLD. THIRD WORLD.
These terms are remnants of colonization.They don't belong in our world today. I couldn't put to words exactly why I found the trending #firstworldproblems so offensive until I read this excerpt from James Orbinski's An Imperfect Offering.
"I dismissed the phrase "Third World development" with all of "its inegalitarian and paternalistic overtones. It implies that we have reached some sort of Utopian ideal... where we are 'first' and the rest of the world is struggling to reach the same place... Are we so egocentric that we are unable to consider the possibility that other people's tomorrows are not necessarily ours for the taking today? The work of development is not apolitical. Failing to recognize this, one hazards the risk of a dangerous indifference to the effects of one's presence and work both overseas and at home as well as one's responsibilities as a doctor."
James Orbinski, MSF
Ideas can be a profound force, more powerful than militaries or economies. Their power is rooted not in weapons or money but in people acting in concert.

It may seem naively idealistic, but I know that as long as we can imagine a better tomorrow, we can work towards a better tomorrow. Such idealism has seeded the world with some of its greatest accomplishments and social institutions. I can change my own life and practices to make these ideals live in what I do in my life today.
James Orbinski, former president of MSF, An Imperfect Offering
Today, we are reminded to have a dream. Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day.Â
We speak not into the wind, but with a clear intent to assist, to provoke change, or to reveal injustice.
Dr. James Orbinski, former president of the MSF International Council, in MSF’s 1999 Nobel Prize acceptance speech.
Being a history major means you learn about things that happened in the past, and sometimes the things you learn upset you and affect you profoundly, but you can do nothing to change what happened and your frustration feels futile.
