I was walking through Queen Victoria Market the other day when a few things struck me.

I do not produce any of my own clothing.
I do not grow any of the food I eat.
I speak a language I did not create.
I live in an apartment I did not build or plan.
I am moved by music I did not compose.
I am reliant on devices I did not invent.
My world is defined by mathematics and laws I did not discover.
My life is governed by policies and legislations I have no influence over, yet which make living fair and comfortable.

I love and am inspired by my species, and am fully reliant on them for my survival and wellbeing.
