|
|
|
"Do you think you are safe from the storm? Listen to one of those who already suffer from it. Listen to Seekers, to indigenous peoples, to all those people who live from day to day, working from darkness to darkness for pennies. Then you will know that they are or were normal people, who thought they were safe with what they had raised with their own effort. Know how the nightmare came kicking in their doors. How the anguish became daily. "
