I grow little of the food I eat, and of the little I do grow, I do not breed or perfect the seeds.

I do not make any of my own clothing. I speak a language. I did not invent or refine. I did not

discover the mathematics I use. I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not invent or refine. I did not discover the mathematics I use.

I am protected by freedoms and laws I did not conceive of or legislate and do not enforce or adjudicate.

I am moved by music I did not create myself.

When I needed medical attention, I was helpless to help myself survive.

life and well-being.

Wow.
