I’ve met a few people who were raised to live a life of service. We are blessed by those who accept that path. I was raised to be kind, but the first person’s welfare on my mind was clearly supposed to be me. Self-made lives don’t sacrifice themselves on behalf of others. We share what we earn when we’re feeling strong, but at times we sing a plaintive song. Woe is me! Dear God, help me! Why have I been forsaken? I’ve worked my ass off for fame and fortune; and look how long that’s taken.
