I don’t see it as a testament to some lofty, preposterous “level of consciousness” though- that struck me as being utterly absurd. Rather, i saw it as a devastating indictment of the society this poor girl had grown up in, and its utter failure to create a safety net for its people, in particular its most vulnerable, like children. For the poor and needy, especially children, any doubt that exists that resources exist to care for them, whether it’s healthcare, food for the Eid feast, or a can of soda for a child trapped in rubble after a disaster is a horrific failure of their community’s Islamic duties. No child in any Islamic community should ever be concerned about going without anything they need to live happy, healthy lives because of some horribly misguided notion about the world around them having “rights over them”. That concept, while being very important, is so far and away from what the real meaning of what Fatimah and that can of soda represent that my jaw kinda dropped when I read the first few paragraphs here.
