The Tragedy

Alan Paton

The tragedy is not that the world is broken. 
The tragedy is that it’s not being mended.

Cry, the Beloved Country

[I keep asking myself...I am only one person - what can I do? Who can I help? In my helplessness I feel like the Chinese poet Ryokan, when he wrote:
"O, that my hermit's robes were wide enough to gather up all the suffering people in this world."
