The author reflects on the relevance of Jeremiah’s warnings against inequality and moral neglect in today’s society. He emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, accountability, and compassion for the less fortunate, drawing parallels to historical figures like Abraham Lincoln. The call to “blush” serves as a reminder to confront our moral failures and seek justice for all.
