Your situation, Tyagarajan, reminds me of a time-worn story. It's the dead of winter - really cold. A little bird is flying around looking desperately for food. It can't find any and drops to the ground, on a pasture, exhausted. While waiting to die, a cow passes by on the field and dumps a load of dung on the bird. The warmth of the excrement revives the dying bird. Out of the happiness of being alive, it begins to sing. A passing cat hears the bird, jumps on it and eats it up. MORAL: Not everyone who shits on you is your enemy. When you are warm in a pile of shit, keep your mouth shut.
PS: "Enshitification" is not always bad.
PPS: I enjoy your writing. May the Force be with you.
😂 I was trying really hard to figure out the moral of the story for me. Thanks for the P.S. Another way to look at it: "Someone's shit can be your survival" Great story.
It's about a mole who finds shit on his head and then goes around trying to figure out which animal shit on him. Yes, it's a children's book. Needless to say, its German.

Which reminded me of this children's book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_the_Little_Mole_Who_Knew_It_Was_None_of_His_Business
