And if we think about it at all, it is likely to be withresentment that our money is being used to support unneces-sary bureaucracies or to buy missiles. We seldom feel a connec-tion to those less fortunate members of the polity for whomour taxes also buy clean sheets, soup, shelter or a daily doseof insulin. Neither recipient nor donor feels the need to say'Please' or 'Thank you'. Our donations are never framed - asthey were in the Christian era - as the lifeblood of an intricatetangle of mutually interdependent relationships, with practicalbenefits for the recipient and spiritual ones for the donor.
Locked away in our private cocoons, our chief way of imag-ining what other people are like has become the media, and as aconsequence, we naturally expect that all strangers will be mur-derers, swindlers or paedophiles - which reinforces our impulseto trust only those few individuals who have been vetted forus by pre-existing family and class networks. On those rareoccasions when circumstances (snowstorms, lightning strikes)succeed in rupturing our hermetic bubbles and throw us inwith people we don't know, we tend to marvel that our fellowcitizens have shown surprisingly little interest in slicing us inhalf or molesting our children and may even be surprisinglygood-natured and ready to help.
Solitary though we may have become, we haven't of coursegiven up all hope of forming relationships. In the lonely canyonsof the modern city, there is no more honoured emotion thanlove. However, this is not the love of which religions speak, notthe expansive.
