    Cause we’re jealous.

    And not in a dismissive way.

    Yes, I want to feed the hungry and treat the sick, but I don’t have a dime extra for my kids Christmas this year and I’m fucking jealous of those who do.

      This is the kind of jealousy that veers into injustice’s territory. Like, there’s a line between envy and righteous indignation that people don’t always see, and we’re crossing that line right now.
