Imagine you go to a pot luck. You spend some time on your dish, and bring your slow cooker. You end up near the back of the food line. By the time that you make it all the way to the front, the food is all completely gone. You realize that some people have taken two, three, four plates. Some of those same people didn’t even bring a dish of their own. And they’ve loudly stated that they won’t be able to eat all of the food they got.

You say to the group “hey, I deserve some food.” They turn to you, and with a tone of derision reply “we all deserve some food.”
