I understand it as I was raised under that faith. Your brain justifies the actions by saying you are doing good for people and helping them, so you can't be a bad person.
Thankfully education saved me from going down that road. Learned the systemic effects of the missionary work and how insidious it is at erasing the native culture to force religion down people's throat by using good will and aid as leverage to proselytize to people who are struggling.
I turned my want to aid into a devotion to wildlife sciences and conservation. Wish it didn't cost an arm and a leg to join up to volunteer and help these initiatives. Need it to gain experience in the field to be considered for hiring unless you land a lucky opportunity and/or have great networking.
