Survival

It used to be that we got food just by finding some and eating it. Just by existing did we have the "authorization" to eat and survive. Now, in our imperfect, illusory "human world," we are only "authorized" to eat food if we have the proper amount of special paper and little metal discs to do so. In other words, we have to be worthy to get food and survive.

Not anymore is food available for all who need it, now people own food, and people are in control of the food people eat. Fine. So what determines a person's worth? It's a bunch of factors, most of which people are not in control over: where they grew up, which family they were born in, what school they went to, what country they were born in, the culture they were reared in, etc. Most people in poverty didn't choose to be in poverty. Most impoverished people aren't at fault for their lack of wealth. And they starve because they aren't worthy.

We don't own food. We don't own people.
