“Imagine how much you’ve got compared to all the kids in the world getting blown up or starved, and the good you could do if you spent half a second thinking about it. Suddenly evil isn’t punching people or even hating them. Suddenly it’s all the stuff you’ve left undone. All the kindness you could’ve given. All the excuses you gave instead. Imagine that for a minute. Imagine what it means.”
