Reading this chapter left me thinking deeply about what it means to be human in a world built on artificial divisions. The author doesn’t just critique power, but mourns what it does to the spirit. I was moved by the balance of intellect and empathy. The author exposes class cruelty without hatred, urging moral awakening rather than revenge. This whole chapter unveils that systems of superiority dehumanize both the privileged and the poor, moral intelligence is the true mark of civilisation, compassion is the antidote to centuries of stratification, and the dream of classlessness is not utopian, rather it is moral. To be fully human is to live without the need to look down on another.
