I heard this on NPR. I like the mention of how so many people aren't kind and helpful because it's not as profitable.

About 4 years ago one guy turned me down with the following sentence... " I don't do charity , because life is just too short." If I paid him he was willing to help but not without the dough. This took me off guard because I DO charity for that very reason. Life is gonna pass us all by too fast and I want to feel like I did something more than just exist with my time. A few months ago... in an ironic twist that guy I asked to particpate hung himself. His life was indeed short after all. Too bad he didn't discover lifes real riches. Best, Tim |
