We who are middle and upper class in America look at our wealth and possessions and say to ourselves, "Look at us. We have arrived!" Yet, we fail to recognize (and close our eyes) to the truth that if any of our brothers and sisters, anywhere in the world, are still homeless, still hungry, still frightened, still persecuted, still struggling, still without hope, then none of us has truly arrived.

...and as long as you are buying into the "class" system you are creating and upholding homelessness, hunger, fear, struggle, hopelessness and persecution.

You are playing a game that even you, who imagine yourself to bew "middle" or "upper class" will ultimately loose........
