It’s hard to believe the world is here just so I can party

“It’s hard to believe the world is here just so I can party, when a third of its people go to bed starving each night. It’s hard to believe the purpose of life is to feel good, when I see teenagers smashed on the freeway. If I try to escape toward hedonism, suffering and death lurk nearby, haunting me, reminding me, of how hollow life would be if this world were all I’d ever know.” - Phillip Yancey - Where is God when it hurts
