People whose history and future were threatened each day
by extinction considered that it was only by
divine intervention that they were able to live at all.
I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence,
is attributed to God's will,
but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard
and style begin to ascend the material scale,
God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.
-- Maya Angelou
