Very good article, thank you Federico! I appreciate the idea of making a short story, a parable, an apologue. I suggest you should keep trying for more similar content if you want.
The village table seems to me like the "global village" we so often hear about, it does represent the world's problems of greed, injustice in general grows slowly and are easily accepted or not discussed. Your style is very effective and the content is easy to appreciate. There is room for hope, but as you states we must not "let greed define reality completely" and, I add, being aware that the table can come back as it was at the beginning of the tale. It was not a perfect table, as the apologue notices, but it was a "livable" table,

Love the metaphor and points of reflection applied to so many aspects of life
Beautiful piece, beautifully expressed.
Sadly, it’s a true reflection of our society now.
However with greater awareness we can encourage healthier ways to build our community and move from these harmful behaviors.
Hope this message reaches more people Loved the work.
