Thanks for taking the time to write a thoughtful response. Are you telling me, however, that the whole reason motivated people work hard is for a payoff so huge there would be no way to spend it all in a lifetime? I think very productive people must be rewarded well, but not to such an extent that 9 million children in this country are sometimes going to bed hungry. Also, I do understand that half a million dollars may not be a big deal for someone making more than $100,000 a year. But for a single mother with two kids living in an area where there is not much opportunity, a half million dollars is a pipe dream. All that said, I understand I’m not going to be making much of a difference in the world by writing articles, so I have to accept that life isn’t fair, and what I write is not anything more than entertainment. Nonetheless, I do have to try.
