Why, yes. We do have an obligation to 'them.' But only after we get
ours, of course. My take on the whole thing is that everyone has
something to give. A 'weak' child may be the best listener/sympathizer in
the town. Good; that's needed. Everyone has a place and a valuable
talent to offer, and most are priceless. Define the world 'weak' and I'll
debate with ya. Otherwise, I'm without grounds to dispute, and you are
without grounds to hold.
