Abstract
Whether one is speaking of the qualities that make life worthwhile (such as love, health, friendship, recognition) or the things that define the wherewithal of life (food, clothing, possessions), they are all scarce, and unequally distributed. Villagers may perceive migrants or city dwellers as more fortunate than they are. Women in arranged marriages may envy those who married for love. Men may be regarded as having greater authority than women, and the old as having unfair advantages over the young. Scarcity and inequality are also affective phenomena. A powerful chief may be oppressed by his sexual impotence. A husband will be seen to favor one wife over another. A young man will resent the privileged position of his first-born brother. And though the young are enjoined to respect the old, the old are not always deserving of respect. In other words, speaking one’s mind or expressing one’s true feelings is often incompatible with the demands of etiquette, and this puts people in double-binds.
