I wonder if he's referring to our state as people–if we are to be the "one's" to help through the storm.
But, being "worse"…now that's got me thinking…
Something tells me this is some of our souls being worse for the situation, if, say, we became something more to this world.
I'm trying to not force myself into a whole bit here, so hopefully you know what I mean.
(I know I'm probably falling very short of their expectations)
