@metaltao we are thrown into the air with high hopes and dreams in today's western world. Achieve what you want! Be who you want to be! But some people can't. The world is not equal. A child in a wheelchair can never grow up to be a basketball player. A child whose family is dirt poor could never afford to send him to college. We are masked by the views people set up centuries ago during confederation. We can't see the truth, and so our flight paths are fogged and our desire takes us away to place where we feel shame. That's what I learned when I read the Great Gatsby.
