You got be a fool to risk your life for raila or anyone
I'd reckon they're desperate. Really desperate. After all, they've no jobs, no money, and the only certainty they have is have no clue if their lot in life is ever gonna change.
So like a mad bull terrier, they'll hang onto Raila's promises with all their strength for just that one tiny chance of betterment. After all, what more do they really have to lose?
A couple of weeks ago, coming back from Europe and looking down at the Mediterranean, it hit me, as always, that while we're complaining about the food, IFE, etc., literally thousands of desperate people are struggling to cross over in makeshift boats.
Life's a bitch to very many people.
"Why, if there is anything in supply and demand, life is the cheapest thing in the world. There is only so much water, so much earth, so much air; but the life that is demanding to be born is limitless. Nature is a spendthrift. Look at the fish and their millions of eggs. For that matter, look at you and me. In our loins are the possibilities of millions of lives. Could we but find time and opportunity and utilize the last bit and every bit of the unborn life that is in us, we could become the fathers of nations and populate continents. Life? Bah! It has no value. Of cheap things it is the cheapest. Everywhere it goes begging. Nature spills it out with a lavish hand. Where there is room for one life, she sows a thousand lives, and it's life eats life till the strongest and most piggish life is left." - Wolf Larsen, The Sea Wolf by Jack London
