Auden

When reading Auden’s work it is ridiculous how life changing a work of literature can be.  When I read “Refugee Blues,” it was so difficult not to become upset, since the meat of the work concerned selfish people who were too self-absorbed to help a fellow person.  I hate that in today’s world everyone is thought of as an outsider.  You cannot help anyone without thinking, “Am I being scammed?”  It is hard to become the person you have always been inspired to become when the world seems dark and unloving.  I think Auden’s biggest issue was with people who lacked love for others because they loved themselves to greatly.
