The lives of people, that is, everyday details and the interplay of their relationships, can’t be reduced to a moral, or even a story. Rich or poor, we ramble through time, joyfully, miserably, and then almost all of it is lost.
Every person—suffering hunger, fatigue, delight, comedy, and tragedy—deserves respect. No person is more human or less human than any other person. But whose heart is big enough, whose mind can contain it, whose tongue can say it?
