247 | Note to Self: Well-Endowed

Dear Richard,

Your head wants to debate, but your heart knows...

An endowment is a scarcity mindset.

Hoarding resources now to help imaginary people later.

And those imaginary people are nonprofit patrons as much as they're you living off 4%.

For a resource dependent on flow, endowing is plaque that leads to triple bypass.

Your head says, "Yes, wealth inequality is a problem."

But that lets you off the hook.

And our world is only the sum of its yous.

Restricting $1,000,000 for a steady stream of $40,000 slows the flow.

And slow flow usurps transformation and hardens the heart.

Graciously planting seeds of change,

Richard
