I just came back from a trip to Haiti. We spent a week working there building an orphanage. It was my first time out of the country and I learned the inevitable lesson that we Americans have too much, want too much, and take almost no pleasure in that which we do have. I make in a week at my blue-collar job what the average working Haitian makes in a year. I'm ready to scale back, put my income to a greater cause, and enjoy life. Thanks for writing this.
