Money Wisdom #162

"There's nothing like watching the six-year-old girl being dragged from the rubble eight days after the 'quake, her body broken but her heart still pumping. It doesn't matter how many thousands die in the initial shock, that one little girl's life being saved makes it all seem worthwhile. Then there's the African famine, the children with their distended bellies and the flies crawling over their faces so we can wallow in our collective guilt as we suppress the thought that life cannot be as precious to them as it is to us."

Bill Drummond For Sale - $20,000 (2010) p. 63-64
