After reading books about the lives and ambitions of the Clintons, it was good to read Bill Clinton's book, Giving which focuses on his foundation which he started after leaving the White House and the work that many others at all walks of life are doing. He offers hope that we can all contribute to help make the lives of others better. We can give skills, money or time or combinations of these. It is good read about people who have wealth and do not just flaunt it and use their wealth to lead lives that do not help others despite the fact that the media glorifies them and gives them inappropriate amounts of attention.
I am not under the illusion that Bill Clinton has given all his money to charity and that he has not become wealthy with his speaking engagements and books but he does give some of his time to very worthy causes and helps to make the world a better place. If we could all spend some time doing things. The world would be a much better place.
