About this Quote

This quote by Dennis Banks speaks with the value of having a spiritual foundation in order to view hardship in a different way. By having a spiritual foundation, one is able to take a look at hardship from a more compassionate and understanding viewpoint. This spiritual structure permits one to recognize the humankind of those in poverty and to see them as more than just a figure. It enables one to acknowledge the systemic concerns that lead to hardship and to understand the requirement for systemic modification. It likewise permits one to recognize the significance of supplying assistance and resources to those in poverty, instead of merely seeing them as a burden. Having a spiritual foundation enables one to view hardship in a more holistic method, understanding the need for both private and systemic modification.
