"He is not free who can do what he please,
But your freedom is good if you could become what you should.
Become slaves to one another in love."

So often we come under the misconception of entitlement and selfishness being disguised as freedom. It is not simply our choice whether we should care for the earth or each other but it is our responsibility as well as should be our delight. The impoverished are not unlucky or lazy, and the middle class white woman is not blessed. Her wealth comes at the expense of those who suffer. Just because we were born into wealth does not mean it is rightfully ours or that we should not work to correct the injustice placed in our lap. I include myself in this category and hope to work consistently to reverse these patterns of apathetic robbery.
