Dear Reader,
In our society’s grand tapestry, we find ourselves constantly measured by our financial standing. We create these rigid categories—royalty or servant, elite or common—yet most of us exist somewhere in the complex middle. We’re neither absolute monarchs nor complete subjects, but rather souls navigating the spectrum between.
Some chase wealth relentlessly, believing it the only path to dignity and respect. Others reject this premise entirely, finding richness in relationships, experiences, and purpose that no currency can purchase.
Perhaps the more meaningful question isn’t where we fit within this economic hierarchy, but whether we accept its premise at all. Must we define ourselves by bank accounts and possessions? Or can we measure our worth through how we treat others, the joy we create, the kindness we share?
The pub or local bar or cafe, interestingly, remains one of the few great equalizers—a place where, at least momentarily, the wealth divide blurs over shared drinks and conversation.
Where do we fit in? Perhaps exactly where we choose to, once we decide what truly constitutes wealth is a life well-lived.
