Thought of the day, what is the problem?

I am tempted to say that it is a African American problem. Thus, placing the spotlight on my race and diminishing the injustices of others in promotion of mine. Furthermore, I have the good intentions of saying it is a financial problem. But that would put would put emphasis on the wealth of individual humans instead of human wealth in a whole. This indeed could directly backfire and make everyone feel attacked and might just do more to cause dissension than cooperation. So I ultimately will decide that the major problem is relational. We simply do not love each other as we claim we do. For if we did the hungry would not go hungry. The homeless would not be homeless. And we would not sacrifice the security of our brethren in order to secure our own fate. Now the issues that plague mankind may not be eradicated but it is a given fact that some of our most basic problems are not diminishing but rather growing in nature and complexity. For this one fact makes me think of you today. God Bless.
