An acquaintance knows a family that made great wealth by a super business success.

Now, they give away $24 million dollars each year.

On Christmas, the family gets together and chooses the 24 recipients, most of whom have not asked and have no idea they are being considered. My acquaintance found out about this when the family donated a million dollars to her son’s autism treatment center for research.

I like to think if I was that rich I’d be doing something like this! It would be such a joy.

I wonder if this man feels joy in gaudy possessions?

I bet he's delirious about his gaudy possessions. Because they're awesome.

And I bet he gives money away and - what's more - doesn't tell anyone when he does it.

We simply don't know. And as we don't know: let's not go and measure that splinter we think we can see in his eye.
