Well, you can’t get what you want
But you can get me
So let’s set out to sea
Not only was she the first female writer to make the Forbes billionaires list, she then became one of the very few people to take herself off that list by giving so much to charity that it actually made a dent in her fortune.
And she gets it. There aren’t enough generous billionaires in the world who remember where they came from, therefore private charity isn’t the ultimate (only) answer to poverty like some politicians would have us believe. We are all interconnected, we all need each other, in democratic countries we are part of the government, and so keeping needy people from falling into complete destitution and despair is an important and worthy role for government to take. It benefits all of us in the long run. And nobody who feels comfortable and secure now (fewer and fewer of those people around these days) has any guarantee they won’t need help themselves someday.

I saw you again, it felt like we had never met
It’s like the sun set in your eyes and never wanted to rise
And what have you done with the one I love?
When I look into your eyes, I see no surprise
I’ll put your poison in my veins.They say the best love is insane. I’ll light your fire til my last day. I’ll let your fields burn around me, around me.
You’ve got a warm heart
You’ve got a beautiful brain
But it’s disintegrating
