Today I was thinking about things we take for granted. One of the most obvious is air. I am grateful to live on a planet with abundant oxygen to breathe. A necessity for life, free for the taking. In general, here on earth we live in a corner of the universe where our basic needs are plentiful. The more basic the need, the more plentiful it is. Without air we would die within minutes. With fresh water and food less frequently needed (and correspondingly less freely available), but still, generally, plentiful. I remember a story I read many years ago which noted that, for a moon colony this isn’t something you could take for granted, and the poor would literally not be allowed to breathe.
