I have been reminded lately of the fact that regardless of what I personally make, I am very rich. In contrast with the rest of the world, I am supremely wealthy. This story drives that home. It is a different culture and era, but still, I don’t think many of us would think ten kids, two bedrooms and no car sounds comfortable. We’d probably launch some sort of anti-poverty campaign to “improve” his (perfectly happy) childhood.
