can lead a life in which that is the consuming, defining paradigm: the poor would end up on a street, in a cardboard container. Financial survival is a cruel master but it does keep one grounded.
I don't know why people seem to feel wealth creates no "space" from others: it does. The lives of the rich are quite different and it's not just the possessions: not to worry about one's next meal, rent check, etc. is a MAJOR impactor on life. The greatest one, actually, since survival is our strongest instinct.
One needn't be a card-carrying Commie to point out differences in economic class, ours is an extremely class rigid society.
Anyhow, a poor person's descent into a mental illness which paralyzed her would have a hell of a lot more drama. Go to a private island, have a 24-hr. a day governess for whom you harbor unspoken lusts: hardly the stuff of riveting drama, URGENCY, eh?
If that's a serious problem, let Bibi Andersson know that I'd gladly have suffered it!
