This part of the experience was overwhelming positive for me . Coming home from Afghanistan I struggled with the glaring contrast between the comfort , ease and luxury of life here in New Zealand and the poverty , insecurity and struggle of life in Ghor . I often looked around me and wondered if people had any idea how lucky they were . I wondered if they even cared that their life of comfort was possible only because of a globally imbalanced economic system which favours the rich at the expense of the poor .
