Thought for today
“There is enough in the world for everyone’s need, but there will never be enough to satisfy everyone’s greed. For each person who eats two slices of bread somewhere, where one will do, somewhere else another person will starve.
The well of the world is deep enough for all to drink from. Why then should its water only be drawn by people of wealth, property, power and privilege?
Does not the Earth belong to all who inhabit it? To share its riches, space and splendour is not an act of charity but the justification of life; it is a duty!
The sun, stars and moon shine down on all people below in equal measure. So let the Heavens above be a shining example to the Earth below.”
