Reached for: Caffeine-Addict
“It isn't fair, and I can't let it go, my brother, my sister, they always seemed to get more.”
It shows up as a fixation on fairness, a raw sensitivity to inequity and a reformer's irritation at who got what, tracing back to a childhood of sibling rivalry over a supply that never felt evenly split. Beneath the justice is an older question: was I loved as much. What it asks for is to feel one's own portion is secure enough to stop counting everyone else's.
Gaius Gracchus, who spent himself on the fair division of the land and was destroyed by the fight, a hunger for just distribution that was never only about the fields. The form implies a task: to secure one's own share before redistributing the world's.
