We are so convinced of the goodness of ourselves, and the goodness of our love, we cannot bear to believe that there might be something more worthy of love than us, more worthy of worship. Greeting cards routinely tell us everybody deserves love. No. Everybody deserves clean water. Not everybody deserves love all the time.

In about 100 words, discuss the meaning Smith intends in the excerpt and how satire is used to develop that theme.

Answer:

hello:)

Step-by-step explanation:

What smith intended about this passage is that humans should only get what they need, such as things they need to surive, love is what anyone would want but if you dont deserve it, your not going to get it. Smith dosent want people who are cruel to be loved, because they need to surive instead, Smith dosent want to belive the top section. As if he was stating the things he has been told in the top section, then telling the readers that he dosent beleive that, and what his own opinion is. (95 words)
