This cartoon shows the perspective of a citizen in the world based on their role/rank in the world.
This big fish doesn't have to worry about anyone eating it, so the world is 'just' to him.
The middle fish sees 'some justice' in the world because a bigger fish is after it, but has someone to eat.
The little fish is to be eaten by all and never given a chance to prosper and find what is 'just in the world'
Sadly for the wee one on this occasion all the hopes are dashed.
It is so important for us to realise that as the big fish in this picture, we are more likely to view the world as a just place, because we don’t experience the same things that those without the privilege do. We might also be guilty of minimalising the genuine concerns/grievances of those without the privilege we have, by comparing things which are not equal to begin with.
