Once she asked

Once she asked about her own honest view of these things. 'What do you think of these matters. What is to be done to get rid of the poverties and social injustices?' And after tens of conferences, and tens of articles in the most prestigious journals, she didn't have a clue of an answer. Then she decided to go on in her own, and leave the academy, which seemed to be a mere facade, a world of its own without any connection whatsoever to the weight of the world.
