I tore open the closet door and began feverishly sorting through the shirts piled on the floor in the vain hope that inside that pile there might be some wondrously perfect shirt down there, a nice and tough but I'm also a surprisingly good listener with a true and abiding passion for cheers and those who lead them.

All of us, poor & rich alike, have been conditioned by our upbringings. Impoverished men & women may become lulled into a state of learned helplessness without hope to change their lives. Likewise, the wealthy can walk in a state of learned blindness ignoring the desperation of the local & global poor.
