Privilege, wealth and ...

I have unimaginable privileges, too vast to enumerate.  But it is not this acknowledgement from which I draw pleasure, contrary to what small-brained modern society would suggest, pleasure is derived from sharing these privileges.  It is in the sharing that we recognise our wealth and our poverty; only in selfless exchange can your riches temper my poverty and my riches fill the hole of your poverty.  I am not describing a lowly economic system, I am celebrating the lofty magic of friendship.
