Stepping into different worlds

Kadizzle has bobbed about in many different worlds. There is so much difference from place A and place B.  People move through each others worlds, but they are detached. You ride your bike down a bike path in Denver past people homeless living in a tent. That person is right there, ten feet away, but in reality they are a million miles away. Your worlds do not really intersect. A person who sleeps on the ground is in a totally different world than the person on a comfortable bed. The person on the plane is in a first class seat, and the person in the back of the plane is cramped into his seat, two different worlds. Black people live in an entirely different world. White people will never enter that world. Russians are in a different world. Each of us thinks we can step in and out of the worlds, but generally it does not work. If you don't believe a lie the people in the other world believe, you cannot get into their world. The problem comes from the idea we are all in the same world. Not the case. When you simply pick up the phone and have food sent to your house, that is far different from having lunch in a basement with bombs falling. Putin does not live in the world his soldiers do. Trump doesn't live in the world his flag waving idiots do. How strange to let someone in another world tell you what to do in your world.
