Exile is borrowed space. Nobody likes living there. It is demeaning and dehumanising. It is especially debasing to live for excessive periods in caged exile, in refugee camps. I have done copious academic research in refugee camps in East Africa. I have also interacted with internally displaced persons.
I have seen just how undignified borrowed spaces can be. You live way below human self-worth, just slightly above a domesticated creature. You are expected to be grateful for charity, even as you yearn for more. Nobody should live like this.
