"A man willing to work, and unable to find work, is perhaps the saddest sight that fortune's inequality exhibits under this sun"

This quote by Thomas Carlyle speaks with the inequality of fortune and the unhappiness of a male who is willing to work, yet not able to find work. It speaks to the unfairness of life, where some are born into benefit and others are born into hardship. It speaks to the injustice of a system that enables some to have access to resources and opportunities while others are rejected them. It speaks to the powerlessness of those who are not able to find work, despite their willingness to do so. It speaks with the despair of those who are unable to attend to themselves and their households. It speaks with the heartache of those who are not able to break the cycle of poverty and inequality. It speaks to the need for a more equitable society, where everyone has access to the same chances and resources. It speaks to the requirement for a society that values effort and recognizes the dignity of all people.
