“We can share what we got of yours, ’cause we done shared all of mine” — Grateful Dead. “Jack Straw”
While much is made of sharing out Social Security and the benefits of a lifetime of toil – we are living in a time that is notably lacking in togetherness and empathy.
Once we pass the threshold of our giving; we reach a deserted plateau indifference – where even the cries of our COVID “die off” are sucked into non-existence.
Our sharing is a Millennial Judgement – the expiation of some kind of Doctrinal “Original Sin” – a giving of tribute: a recognition of superiority.
Maybe their sharing would reduce their perfection by some small amount – or acknowledgement of us would make them unclean.
They won’t even share the time to try to understand.
