Milk
Teemu Mäki
"Somebody starves to death somewhere, somebody else feasts in luxury somewhere else, what is their relation? If the luxury is there at the expense of the starved, does it automatically cause guilt in the mind of the exploiter? If the feeling of guilt does arise, does the luxury lose its taste? If the guilt, experience of it, does not arise, is the exploiter emotionally numb? To be without guilt, is it to be unable or unwilling to feel in general?"(Teemu Mäki, 1998)
