We're told, from many sources, that any onecan achieve anything. We've done away with the caste system, we are now in a system where anyone can rise to any position they please. And it's a beautiful idea. Along with that is a kind of spirit of equality; we're all basically equal. There are no strictly defined hierarchies. There is one really big problem with this, and that problem is envy.
这个世界用许多方法告诉我们，我们无所不能，我们不再受限于阶级，而是只要靠着努力就能攀上我们想到的高度。这是个美丽的理想，出于一种生而平等的精神，我们基本上是平等的，没有任何明显的阶级存在。这造成了一个严重的问题，这个问题是嫉妒。

I think it's merely the randomness of the winning and losing process that I want to stress, because the emphasis nowadays is so much on the justice of everything, and politicians always talk about justice. Now I'm a firm believer in justice, I just think that it's impossible. So we should do everything we can to pursue it, but we should always remember that whoever is facing us, whatever has happened in their lives, there will be a strong element of the haphazard. That's what I'm trying to leave room for; otherwise, it can get quite claustrophobic.
