Mother Teresa

When I see waste here, I feel angry on the inside. I don't approve of myself getting angry. But it's something you can't help after seeing Ethiopia.

Behind the line

What it means

Our interpretation.

The speaker describes anger at waste alongside disapproval of that anger. Mentioning what she has seen in Ethiopia explains why she finds the reaction hard to avoid, without describing those experiences here. The tension lies between an immediate feeling and her judgment of it.
