![“There’s too much money here. Nobody should be hitting lotto for $36 million and we got people starving in the streets. That is not idealistic, that’s just real. […] There’s no way! There’s no way that these people should own planes and there are people that don’t have houses, apartments, shacks, drawers, pants! I know you’re rich, I know you got $40 billion, but can you keep it to one house? You only need one house. And if you only got two kids, can you just keep it two rooms?

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

Read the article, on a 27-year-old who voluntarily chose tubal ligation, and then read this wonderful, thoughtful, and eloquent comment. In a sea of self-righteous and sanctimonious responses - from many points of the spectrum - this response stuck out to me as compassionate, understanding and poignant.

You know what’s funny?
A year ago, if you’d sent me this article, I wouldn’t have been able to see the woods through all the friggin’ trees. I would’ve been offended at the overtly Christian tone; I probably would’ve lectured you on assumptions and religion and faith and how those last two are rarely ever the same.
I don’t blame Old Me - I was in a rough and confusing time in my life, and part of me is still there - but man. What a difference a bit of time makes, non?
In any case, I state all of the above to point out that you can get something profound from this story no matter your faith, religion, politics or view. It’s an interesting read, concisely and poignantly written, and it won’t be a waste of your time. How’s that?
Pipe down, Old Me. It’s not that serious.
