It feels great to make it big. I mean, isn't that the American Dream? More money than I can possibly spend. Luxuries galore. Honor and prestige everywhere I turn. A big house. A fancy car...
And sure, it's nice to help out other people. But the truth is - I mean - what am I supposed to do, anyway? I'm no Florence Nightingale. And I'm no Moses. Fixing the world is a cute concept for idealists and poets -- I say just live and let live, and hopefully somehow it will all come clean in the wash.
Right?
...um... ...not really.

May we all be blessed to appreciate that each of us is blessed in many ways, and that those blessings are not a gift, but rather a *trust*; a trust to care for those around us, better the world we live in, and make this world as perfect as it was created to be.
