We live in a very practical world.
People are cynical.
They act, for the most part, out of self-interest, either hidden or blatantly obvious. We ve all come to accept this and to feel that this is reality, the norm of life. And so, when faced with generosity and selflessness on a grand scale, we can only stand in awe, with tears in our eyes and a feeling of revelation in our hearts. Life, it turns out, doesn t always have to be lived in the small, mean way that self-interest dictates. Sometimes, it can be stupendously impractical, shocking us with its unexpected and unimagined beauty.
