my dependence is not less worthy than yours. Maybe our disagreement is this (maybe we don't disagree):
I think that there are enough resources for everyone to live a fulfilling life, yes, but not enough for all of us to get all that we want.
My dependence is no less worthy than yours, but neither of us 'suffer' enough. I really get cross with airlines. To get on or off a plane, I have to be picked up by my arms and legs and lifted first onto an 'evac chair' then onto a seat that does not adequately support me. They can get hundreds of tonnes of metal into the air, but that is how they get a disabled person onto a plane!? Really though, none of us should be jetting off for a week swanning around Barcelona.
I'm probably going to stop here, although I am enjoying the exchange. It is more complicated than I realised when I posted. In short, I like the fact that I have to be brought up against my own dependence on others. I think that if everybody was, we would see the horror of how we live and live better.
One more story. I was once stranded over night in Paris because they SNCF people refused to come to the platform to put me on the last train because I hadn't been to their office 40 minutes in advance of the departure. Everyone was very upset, except my housemate. He could not understand the fuss. He'd crossed the med at 13 without papers and then mostly walked across France and Italy to the UK. He arrived at 14. He was more surprised that I took it for granted that you could get on a train in France. Now of course, everyone should be able to travel, but that world is one in which people like me get a lot less of what I want, but perhaps a lot more of what I need, beauty, truth, friendship, community and power. It is the last that is true autonomy, working with others to achieve something of value together.
