Indeed so and it is with wisdom that you make this clear.
There is honor and merit in this type of duty. Even if you are never able to liberate them from slavery, your kindness and your integrity will be what they remember most - even while others would criticize you for your employer. You have summarized my struggle aptly.

There is no dishonor in working for a good cause.
I suppose the rub is determing what "a good cause" is. |

There is no such thing as "a good cause". What is good for ones is evil for others. You don't have to go far for examples, just look at gallentes, they are doing extremely evil things considering they are fighting for 'good cause'. No, there is no such thing as a good cause. Only your cause. Good for your people. Good for your ideals. In each conflict there are no good side and evil side. Most of this 'good-evil' stuff is a blatant propaganda. Each conflict in fact is conflict of interests of its sides, not because one side is good and another is evil. And stop watching cheap gallentean holoreels. Really. |

Indeed...
So much for "Self-Determination", it's a noble Ideal but in the end you find that you nothing more than a slave to the cause. Every day I find myself rejoicing in that I surrendered my struggle and submitted myself to my Amarr Patron. It would seem that the only "choice" given in this existence is your choice of masters to whom you serve. I do believe that I have chosen wisely.

That we Caldari are capable of putting aside the individual in order to better serve the community as a whole is something we are quite proud of it, in spite of your attempts to decry it.
It is impossible to explain this to a Gallentean narcissist. |

I have used the autonomy granted to Capsuleers to choose to leave the service of masters whose goals I deemed unworthy. My path has been painful, because it is SO hard to find a worthy master and because the decision to forsake an unworthy one is so easy for a Capsuleer.
I have always wondered if I would have been happier had I simply elected to remain loyal to my first master. |
