We are all musicians in a great human orchestra, and it is now time to play the Save the World Symphony. You are not required to play a solo, but you are required to know what instrument you hold and play it as well as you can. You are required to find your place in the score.

Hence the poverty of the poor is not a call to generous relief action, but a demand that we go and build a different social order.
