You know what I've come to realize about you kindly rich liberals who own the world? Nothing is further from your understanding than the nature of reality.
In the book "American Pastoral" by Philip Roth, the author explores the disconnect between affluent liberals and the realities faced by everyday people. The character expresses a deep frustration towards wealthy individuals who, despite their good intentions, lack a genuine understanding of the struggles and challenges that exist outside their privileged lives.
This realization highlights a critical theme in the narrative: the illusion of enlightenment among the rich, who often remain oblivious to the true nature of societal issues. Roth's commentary suggests that wealth can create a barrier to truly understanding the complexities of the world, ultimately leading to misguided perspectives on social realities.
