For some, a 500m stroll to a grocery store can be a tall order. For the others, even a 1,000 km walk is not unthinkable. Such is the desperateness all around us. Such is the time we are living in!
The stark differences of the various classes (both economic and social) were always there, and will remain so in the foreseeable future. It's just that a crisis, like in the current times, has the tendency of exposing those harsh realities, and lay them bare in the open. Those who are fortunate enough either ignore, ponder upon, or criticise such signs. Those who are not continue to struggle, suffer, and yet put up a brave fight. Like they always have had to, since time immemorial.
Need, want, privilege, and luxury are such relative terms, isn't it? One person's basic needs could easily be another's privilege. In some cases, even a matter of life and death!
