There may always be different social classes, but knowing that someone
makes less money than we do, or lacks basic human services such
as food, shelter, clothing, education and health care, means that
we are short-changing ourselves. In denying others, we deny ourselves.
The beggar with her cup out to us? She is us. The business executive
in the penthouse far above our heads? He is us. Reconciling these
apparently conflicting and contradictory aspects of ourselves is
not easy and may take continued dialogue.
