Man as giver

U.S. entrepreneur Chuck Feeney, 86, has spent the last several decades giving away billions of dollars. He has done this while doing his best to keep it a secret. In late 2016 he gave away his last seven million. He and wife Helga now live in a rented apartment.

Life cannot give me what I need while I chase after what I want. What comes to me unbidden, unanticipated, is the precondition to contentment. Contentment is not an achievement. Not a result.
