If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.

Ya know, I think she's right about the fact that we are part of the problem, but I don't necessarily believe that you have to do something about the grime of our amazing planet. It's your choice however you choose to use your time.
i think this quote says that something like when we try to fix our porblems we just get more problems i dont know...
if we have the opportunity to help people out and we don't then we're not helping the problem out. as humans we should help eachother out to feel better about ourselves. there is many americans that need our help either financially or mentally.
THIS QUOTE IS TRYING TO INFLICT THAT NO MATTER HOW SUCCESSFUL YOU GET IN LIFE DONT FORGET ABOUT THE LITTLE PEOPLE, BECAUSE THE LITTLE PEOPLE ARE WHO MATTER THE MOST IN LIFE.
This is quote is true. If people took just a little of their time to help other people, the whole world would be a better place. By sitting back and pretending that nothing is wrong with being selfish, we encourage people to do the same.
that if you fix your problems then you should help those in need. that we are more of a problem if we don't help others out because it just cause others to fail and we are failing them. helping is power to you and others
i dunno...what this meansbut i guess people in the world today think that they are to busy to help anyone other them themselfs. i think that inm to busy to help but at the same time i help people when i can
I strongly agree with this qoute your actions are so powerful when it comes to those who are in need of your little but powerful service this world was created through collabortion so every should pitch in to keep it going
