Re: I think I understand your message...

You're getting closer.

The point is that people have worth and value outside of their material circumstances. And whatever the "village" has should be shared with them, too.

And if some people are lucky enough to work, that's a privilege. I've had jobs which were a privilege, and I'd have paid them to do it. Or twice the taxes. Loved it.

Life wasn't a burden, I wasn't cheated, I could only hope the next guy was as content.

And I knew that "no man is an island, complete unto himself", or something like that. (John Donne)

There is a growth pattern, and going through the pure ego, dog-eat-dog (to malign Man's best friend) stage is part of it.
