RE: "Used" is a Four-Letter Word
Well, yes, but this piece is not a bid for sympathy. Nor is it about not feeling appreciated. It's about losing (or never having had) a sense of tribe, and what that's done to people, and about reclaiming it and what causes it to go. Cold logic might be what's needed, but even more than that, what's needed is to observe and feel separation and closeness, and their causes.
I almost expect you to ask 'who am I?'. Some New Australians seem to feel marginalised in the same way and ask that question.
I dont have that problem as I was educated in a boys grammar school and then joined the armed forces, I have always had a tribe.
