Mother Teresa: Not as Good as You Think She Is

Alice Santos
We all know the name Mother Teresa. She won a noble peace prize for her humanitarian work and founded the Missionaries of Charity. When She was on her world tour she gathered millions (rumored to be billions) of dollars from the rich because they believed that she would be able to help the poor and suffering in India. Many people would believe that India was and currently is eternally grateful to her. But what did she really do with all that money? It surely wasn't used to improve the conditions of the suffering.

Mother Teresa's money was mostly spent on religious activities and not on the poor. She built a hundred facilities all over the world with her name and organization 'Missionaries of Charity' on each one. Most of them were nunneries used to train uneducated and obedient young women of her ways of God worship. Making other women act like her, thus sprang her 'cult of suffering'.

I can imagine her Home for the Dying in Calcutta India is the most depressing place to be. Even though Mother Teresa had billions she couldn't even give these dying people proper beds. They're all little hammocks and some have to share with others with different diseases. They weren't allowed to go anywhere else but on the beds. They had to go in this unsanitary toilet in front of other people. They aren't allowed visit from their friends or their relatives. Strange.

Your already dying but do you have to suffer like this? She didn't believe that these people really need any antibiotics because they were going to die anyway. How much did she cared about her health? When she got sick, she took herself straight to the best heart specialist in New York. I think she really does believe in getting rid of suffering but also believes that other people need to suffer...except for her.

She wasn't interested in curing any of these sick people even though she had a ton of money to do so. Why would Mother Teresa intentional want people to suffer? "The suffering of the poor is something very beautiful and the world is being very much helped by the nobility of this example of misery and suffering," a quote from Mother Teresa herself. Sounds like she had an obsession with the suffering of other people.

Sadism is the pleasure or gratification in the infliction of pain and suffering upon another person. Sounds so much like her doesn't it?

People might argue that she wanted people to live in poor conditions so that she could identify with the people whom she was with and be closer to Jesus. It basically means she wanted to feel better about herself by watching people die. Which make her sound even more of a sadist really.

No matter what those who believed in her from the beginning will always try to make excuses up for her.
