RE: Last thoughts to close the weekend

I don’t completely understand this, but I sense value in it, so I will reread it.

It is hard to have individual positive opportunities in a community that doesn't have opportunities for many, so as I see it, for her to have the best opportunity for life, others need to have good opportunities as well. Hard to be healthy in a land rampant with disease.

To break cycles, demand needs to change away from supporting those who restrict to those who empower.

    I get that. I agree 100%. In USA we had a president from a minority group who was accused by members of that group of not doing enough to help them specifically. I will never forget his reply:

    I am not the President of (the minority group). I am the President of the entire country. I am working full time to increase the opportunities for all Americans, because by creating an atmosphere where everyone feels like they can get ahead. I want every American to feel like the government is looking out for the interests of everyone equally. Only then will we see a reduction in strife, reduction in oppression, favoritism and discontent which creates an atmosphere ripe for hate and violence. That’s the kind of country I want to leave to my children.

    He was a politician and it was an answer in a public forum, so not everyone believed what he said, but as for me I thought it was one of the most significant things he ever said. I think this type of atmosphere is one of the most significant conditions the government can create and a side effect I think is reduction in tensions and the feelings of abandonment and favoritism which doesn’t favor you.
