SV: {UAH} Pakasa/toil forum in Kampala: Are we in diaspora too negative?

WBK,

Let me just jump into this question, by saying there that had never been any Pakasa / true hard-work and, or pure labouring. I hope you can recall that, during my youth days in the late 1950s running through the early 1960s we were used with pure Pakasa/true hard-work and, or pure labouring to get our school fees and school uniforms.

I remember, staying very far from my primary school, but I must wake up in the morning and go to dig a piece of field where I must plant my cotton, which I must work on it till harvest time. The little cotton lint would be sold and some little amount of money got will be added with the ones my parents had harvest. Later, the school fees and school uniforms are bought.

These days, when I went home, I found that the younger generations do not do what we did for our school fees and our school uniforms. This means, these days the young folks just loiter in towns and they have forgotten the issues of Pakasa, true hard-working and, or pure labouring.

Folks:
 
Let me pose this provocative question: are those of us in the Diaspora too negative to appreciate the good in Uganda? Put differently is Uganda undergoing some form of what Schumpeter famously called 'creative destructive'.
 
I ask because the Pakasa ideal and its promotion of hard work/ honest living is something that needs to be harnessed.  So who is against pakasa/toil and why?
