Orwell so rightly says, "Our society is...also so arranged that if you don’t have money you pay for it at every hour of the day with petty humiliations and totally unnecessary discomforts." That's a line that instantly reminded me of what I read years ago about the daily life of most Palestinians. These were inflicted on them in a completely arbitrary way by soldiers holding rifles. Imagine the effect on you when this robbed hours out of almost every day, month after month, year after year. I know I would resent the people who did it too me. And very quickly.
