“Sure, you can choose the safety and predictability of the cage, forfeiting the adventure God has destined for you. But you won't be the only one missing out or losing out. When you lack the courage to chase the Wild Goose, the opportunity costs are staggering. Who might not hear about the love of God if you don't seize the opportunity to tell them? Who might be stuck in poverty, stuck in ignorance, stuck in pain if you're not there to help free them? Where might the advance of God's kingdom in the world stall out because you weren't there on the front lines?” IfsWorldHelpingMightPainOpportunityLinesPovertyMissingFrontsIgnoranceAdventureCostLosingSafetyStuckKingdomsGod LoveCagesDestinedGeeseStaggeringMissing OutPredictabilitySeize The OpportunityOpportunity CostWild GeeseLosing Out Author:Mark Batterson
“Given the fact that poverty is growing, more and more Americans are losing health insurance, health care costs are going up, the middle class is shrinking, the gap between the rich and the poor is growing wider. That speaks to the weakness of the opposition. People do not like George W. Bush. But I think it's fair to say that they are not flocking to the Democratic Party, or see the Democrats as a real alternative.” PeopleThinkingRealFactsCareSpeakGivenPoorPartyClassPovertyRichGrowingMiddleCostLosingWeaknessFairsDemocraticDemocratAlternativesHealth CareOppositionMiddle ClassGapsDemocratic PartyShrinkingHealth Care Costs Author:Bernie Sanders

“Most people don't know what it's like to be poor, and to live in poverty. To live in a situation where everything around you - every opportunity is shut.

“I don't think losing things - in my case, the use of my legs - really damages or hurts you. What hurts people a lot is taking humiliation. A lot of the wars going on right now in the Middle East aren't about poverty and exploitation. They're about humiliation. For a long time, the British and French have been humiliating the people of the Middle East, and encouraging people like Israel to do the same. Israel started out as a socialist state, but we always encouraged them to become rather racist and look down on the local inhabitants, which they now do. It's sad that's happened.” PeopleThinkingLongWarHurtPovertyLosingRacistExploitationSocialistHumiliationHumiliating Author:Robert Wyatt
