I'm eating for the first time in two days. I'm surprised how easy it is to forget such a vital need...I wasn't even aware that I was hungry until now. Strange.Anyway, on to the original purpose of this post...my personal experiences have no relevance right now...this is utilitarian hedonism, not egoist hedonism.
Is it right to be happy when others aren't? Out there, poleepkwa are dying of thirst, hunger, overwork, or at the hands of MNU; here I am, in a comfortable place. I have shelter, food, water...but why me? Why should an acidhead poleepkwa melting their brain with drugs get this, and the people who deserve it much more are left in the chaos of District 10 without anything? I'd trade places with anyone there right now, because they deserve it more then I do...but does that make me ungrateful? I really appreciate what I've gotten in life, I just think that others should have it instead of me; but is that right? I don't know.
