Our society is like a commuter train. There are a few very well-off people in the front, with their own seats, tables and ample legroom; everyone else is stuffed into the carriages behind them. Some passengers are lucky enough to get a seat, but most are on their feet and cramped together, attempting to disappear from the agony via headphones and screens, trying to remember why they put themselves through this every day. Every year, the standard carriages get more and more crammed. Meanwhile, first class has fewer passengers and is roomier than ever. At what point do the rest of us get fed up with playing sardines and take up the rest of the train? I don’t know, but noticing your fellow passengers would be a good start. Then we may realise that we are all in this together.
