The essence of humanity is the impulse to share "with those who are less fortunate. In a crisis like the present, he who eats . . . . may share. Remember this quotation: "There are a number of us who creep •; . Into the world to eat and sleep And.know no reason why we're born But to consume the corn, Devour the cattle, flesh, and fish, And leave behind an empty dish; And if our tomb-stones when we die, Be taught not to flatter and to lie, There's nothing better can be said Than that he's eaten up his bread, Drunk"up his drink, and gone to bed."
