Description
Many citizens of this nation, including myself, have been terrified to think or confront the possibility that we may not be living in a truly democratic society. The poor of our nation and across the globe are often viewed as lazy, weak-minded and as always in need of government-funded financial assistance. Love and caring are often ridiculed as idealistic traits that romanticize the fate of the dispossessed. We are living in a world where personal greed is condoned and where little emphasis is placed on trying to understand social questions: Why do so few people have so much in this world, and conversely, so many more have absolutely nothing? Our challenge will be to move beyond simple charity work, and find ways to lay a significant foundation that challenges us to view and review our own perception of democracy and its relationship to poverty. During this reading, it is my hope that you will become both intellectually enraged and engaged for discussion and action without falling into despair. These are delicate subjects that need special care and immediate attention a focus on the good and ways to live a more humane and meaningful life. This book is an attempt to challenge and create discussion for causes bigger than we are. It is meant to stimulate serious thinking and wise decision making that best confront our existence.
