It is our suffering that brings us together. It is not love. Love does not obey
the mind, and turns to hate when forced. The bond that binds us is beyond
choice. We are brothers. We are brothers in what we share. In pain, which each
of us must suffer alone, in hunger, in poverty, in hope, we know our
brotherhood. We know it, because we have had to learn it.
We know that there is no help for us but from one another, that no hand will
save us if we do not reach out our hand. And the hand that you reach out is
empty, as mine is.
You have nothing. You possess nothing. You own nothing. You are free. All you have
is what you are, and what you give.
