Summary

This quote illustrates the contradiction society often presents when it comes to addressing poverty and inequality. It highlights the irony that while providing assistance to the less fortunate is seen as a virtuous act, questioning the root causes of poverty often invites criticism and labels, such as being branded as a disruptive or radical force. It brings attention to the need for a deeper understanding of social issues and the importance of advocating for systemic change alongside direct aid to address the underlying problems faced by marginalized communities.

I guess we're all, or most of us, the wards of that nineteen

I guess we're all, or most of us, the wards of that nineteenth-century science which denied existence to anything it could not measure or explain. The things we couldn't explain went right on but surely not with our blessing. We did not see what we couldn't explain, and meanwhile a great part of the world was abandoned to children, insane people, fools, and mystics, who were more interested in what is than in why it is. So many old and lovely things are stored in the world's attic, because we don't want them around us and we don't dare throw them out.
