I've just begun. Before I began reading, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to, right at this moment, fully take this in because of my own concerns about the hopelessness I'm seeing around me, here in this poor, rural corner of West Virginia. I wanted to read this, though, and decided that perhaps looking at the global perspective would help me cope with the local situation.
So far, I think it will. I can see the threads, the connections, the human condition, the positions of power and dependence, of need and want, of manipulation and freedom, all seem universal. We'll see how deep this connection goes.
Even if the connection doesn't go all the way through, seeing what's happened on a greater scale sometimes can give reason for hope, or at least a hint of how hope can be seen. I'm looking forward to reading further in.
