what the hell are we doing?

Juxtaposing my life against the plight of those less fortunate, I realize how good I really have it. I have not been given an eviction notice. I have not had all my belongings washed away to sea. I do not spend every day feeling trapped in a life I do not want. I have a job, a beautiful home and a fabulous wife. I have a car, and yes gas is expensive, but I can do what I need to do. I know how to scale back, whittle it down, and I know how to live large. I am pretty good at knowing when to do which, as well. Having most of my life in a good place allows me to think about luxurious ideas, like how the world is being managed, who is in charge and what do they want... how do I help other people whose misfortune lays on the foundation of their exploitation, how do I protect people like myself from others who would eliminate them based on who they love, how they love, or how they spend their time?
