People comprise a lot of contradictions. I mean a lot in the sense of volume or quantity as well as of collection or circle. It may be glib to say that the Secretary-General of the United Nations speaks to the yin-yang of humanity, but it is nonetheless a somber yet blatant truth that world is divided among the have and have not. What is more, there is reason to believe that the former make the latter so, that is, in terms of policy and reinforcement, commerce and practice, predation and oppression. I imagine even a small shift, never mind a corrective balance, would have tremendous benefit: Imagine how far a few million dollars, separated from the multibillion dollar military budget, could go to relieve hunger and thirst among the poor. Better yet, think how far such funds could go to remedy the infrastructure, system and capability vis-a-vis the poor by engaging them, teaching them, and supporting them.
