Standing in towers of glass and steel people survey the land beneath them. Admiring what their wealth has bought them, the see a serene picture from above the clouds. While in streets below and across rivers and oceans, armies wage war. Some wars are fought with guns, others are fought with books and still others are fought with vaccines. While a select few rise to prominence and power, most struggle to have their daily bread. Some obtain wealth beyond measure surrounded by rivers of jewels and gold. While others languish and starve. For those who amass the resources life is comfort and ease, for others it is a struggle to live. How much is enough for one person before they are willing to give back and help another?
