Poverty Quote by Louis D. Lo Praeste
““No solution will be found by accepting powerlessness or poverty as inevitable, irreplaceable social features. The failure of the system to answer the issues we now confront is the root of social anxiety. One can say, with some confidence, that those who are shaping the dominant discourse do not care nearly enough. Because of the inverted and vacuous leadership we now have, we can only be sure of change if we, as individuals, are prepared to confront the shadow of our subconscious agendas and biases elusive to our awareness. Violence is the volatile unmasking of things not confronted, nor encountered with reason or love. Louis D. Lo Praeste. Vague Apocalyptica (Kindle Locations 411-415). Snow Creek Press.””
