The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence: individual.'
'But must you own the industry?' she said.
'I don't. But to the extent I do own it, yes, most decidedly. The
ownership of property has now become a religious question: as it has
been since Jesus and St Francis. The point is NOT: take all thou hast
and give to the poor, but use all thou hast to encourage the industry
and give work to the poor. It's the only way to feed all the mouths and
clothe all the bodies. Giving away all we have to the poor spells
starvation for the poor just as much as for us. And universal
starvation is no high aim. Even general poverty is no lovely thing.
Poverty is ugly.'
