I love this clip. Louis C.K. is a great comedian, and is speaking some serious truth. We live in blessed times, and in a blessed Country. I sometimes think we misuse our vast wealth for things we don’t need. Countries and Cities do it. Indianapolis figures out how fund an always sold-out stadium that’s a glorified playground for the rich, while Gleaner’s struggles to fill its shelves with food. In our personal lives, we throw out perfectly good TVs to buy “better” TVs. If the cable or internet goes out at home, we are sent into an angered panic at the Comcast gods. The electricity went out at our apartment for 24 hours a couple months ago, and we had absolutely no idea what to do with ourselves.

I am not saying any of these things are bad or good, or sounding any call of action… But personally, I am trying to live a simpler life. I am trying to have some perspective… What are the things I am ignoring for the sake of personal comfort?
