So much of the world lives in such bleak poverty. On one hand, I'm truly grateful for the opportunities I've been blessed to have access to. On the other hand, my heart breaks for the suffering in so much of the world.

I think I'll print out the island stats and share it with my students at school. Thanks for this post, my friend. What a fascinating way of jolting us into seeing things differently, Jonathan!
