Answer

In Dorothy Day's speech, the speech about "no one has the right to sit down and feel hopeless." This is because many people give up easily. We humans are smart enough to have an excellent future. Don't give up no matter what!

Answer

Ms. Day was referring to the fact that there is always something more to be done. In the field of activism, one can help recycle, save a river, encourage a child to excellence, comfort a senior citizen, pick up a piece of paper from the sidewalk. One person might feel hopeless over her chosen cause, but even so, one person can change the world.

Mother Teresa and her penny is a classic case. One tiny old woman with one cent convinced a major contributor to finance her cause. Just one woman changed the course of history for thousands in India with one penny and prayer. There is NEVER an excuse to sit down and wail over what you cannot do.

"I used to cry that I had no shoes, until I met the man who had no feet."
Ms. Day is actually talking about Service. She is talking and talks all the time about standing up for those who have nothing, who have less than we do, who are suffering. She is talking about being Christ's feet, hands, heart to those who can't walk, can't feed themselves, have no hope. This isn't about rivers, trash, school or roadside rubbish. This is about serving others first. That is the work that must be done.
