Sinopse
The family provides ends in the upbringing of children. But unless there is hope for them of a change of condition – and it is in the nature of such things that an improvement of social condition should represent nothing other than an exception – the sight of one’s own children condemned to the selfsame existence as one’s own does nothing to reduce its painful and empty burden. This burdensome emptiness causes a great deal of suffering. It is even felt by the uneducated and those who have a weak intellect. To those who have no experience of it (because of their social condition), it is impossible to understand with equanimity the actions of those who have suffered such condition throughout their lives. It does not kill, though it is possibly as intolerable as starvation. Maybe less tolerable still, maybe it is true that there is less need of bread than of a remedy to this pain.
