“I dont believe in charity.
I believe in solidarity.
Charity is vertical, so it’s humiliating.
It goes from the top to the bottom.
Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other and learns from the other.
I have a lot to learn from other people.”
-Eduardo Galeano.

Maybe love is a better word than charity.. love is always horizontal because it is always relational. And ditto that last sentence for me.. I need others!
