reflections

A friend I now consider 'former' once scoffed at the idea that we should be generous and considerate when we had plenty and the moral high ground.

Looking back, she wasn't a particularly nice person; I just never ended up on her nasty side.

However, these days her politics are exclusionary and centered around people like herself because her habit is to be selfish and unconcerned with people who aren't like her. She learned how to behave when she had much, she won't learn any differently when she has little, she'll just get scrappier and meaner and more selfish.
