Love the earth and sun and animals,
Despise riches, give alms to everyone that asks,
Stand up for the stupid and crazy,
Devote your income and labor to others...
And your very flesh shall be a great poem.
~Walt Whitman

I love this from Walt Whitman. Sometimes, I feel bad that I don't care about money as much as society seems to. I'd much rather free my time to spend with kids in the afterschool program or help out someone who's facing discrimination here than spend 40-60 hours toiling away, so I can buy more 'things.'
