There’s the old Buddhist line about two goldfish swimming around and one saying to the other “how’s the water?” and the other saying back “what do you mean, ‘water’?”
I think about that a lot, but that doesn’t necessarily mean I am any better – day-to-day – at seeing/tasting/feeling the water. So it goes.
Meanwhile, I’ve been reading a backlog of “The Big Issue” (a weekly magazine sold by the homeless/vulnerably housed. They buy from the Big Issue folks at half the cover price, keep the rest as profit). The quality has varied over the last 25 years (of course), but my goodness it’s a good read. Well worth the money, and not as a pity-purchase.
Robin Ince, has a colum in the Big Issue . In the July 10 2023 issue its title was, “Fearful culture warriors miss out on so many stories”. Ince quotes Leonora Carrington “for those living in emotional poverty, other people’s happiness is a threat.”
Indeed. And this is something Maya Angelou nailed in her poem Still I Rise
Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?
Some see it al as a zero-sum game, because for them it is – a pecking order, and their position is threatened… positional goods indeed…
And finally, there’s this adage…
“When someone is accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”

I believe we are all “privileged”, some are just more “privileged”, than others.
