At the very beginning of the speech Strobel says, "The ramifications of poverty touch all aspects of our lives together. We cannot afford to ignore or gloss over these ramifications. Instead, we must raise them and face them honestly." I think people ignore what he says here, that poverty touches all aspects of our lives together. Some people just do little to help and don't think that poverty can touch them or affects them. Strobel is saying that it does touch all aspects of our lives together. People want to help the poor while distancing themselves from them at the same time. I love the quote Strobel liked from Dorothy Day, "She noted that the poor and the homeless had been studied and researched to death, but that all they needed was love." People need to help the poor more out of love than because of the bad statistics. More and more people should love the poor and helped them out of love. Reading this quote, Dorothy Day, and much of the other readings have given me an actual love for the poor that I didn't have before.
