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.

Quietly delighted

A man I know tells me that he has resigned from the results committee. This is a recommended action. The Gita puts it plainly: “Take no thought for the fruits of your actions.”
