Holy Inequality

The Western world may speak about equality for decades, but inequality is mostly here to stay – holy and everlasting. Beach workers at all-inclusive resorts that carry on with their small jobs in contrast with happy holidaymakers; midgets, orphans and even socks in a national opera feel it like no one else. Inequality is still a goddess of civilization and a sister of consumerism.
