How do I go about becoming a productive citizen of this world? I am too comfortable, too well fed, too well off. Even in these terrifying times of threats of destruction and chaos, I am too secure in my own place in society. What if I were to lose that? Isn't it wrong that so many of us eat steak every night when half the world is starving? Why don't we make decisions based on what would give everyone the minimum they need to get along? Why has our minimum become so high? Why are we so selfish? If we don't see it, does it not exist? Will we ever be able to make decisions, blind of knowledge of our status, in a way that would benefit the most people? What use is it to ask these questions, when I am so enmeshed in a society that is comfortable leaving them as they are? Why is my mouth so salty right now?
