CHAPTER

Redefining Privilege and Disprovelage

This chapter challenges the notion of privilege by framing access to basic necessities like clean water, green spaces, and healthcare as fundamental rights, not privileges. It discusses the concept of 'disprovelage' imposed on certain individuals and lands, contrasting the ethos of sharing in gardens with the sanctity of private property. The interplay between joy and sorrow is explored, emphasizing their interconnected nature and the need to acknowledge all emotions for a fulfilling human experience.
