Dear Mr. Gaiman,
I know you care about a lot of meaningful issues, and you have a lot of money.
Would you mind telling me how you balance these two conditions so that the
second isn't erased by the first overnight?
Thanks for any advice.
Yours,
Cee
Seriously, I could give away a giant pile of money in no time at all, and I'd really
like to achieve some long-term good, rather than just band-aid some superficial
problems...
did you just invent the "quote" or was the question really posed to Mr. Gaiman? i would like to see that answer...
It's just a question that pops into ye old brain whenever the lotto gets up there.
I don't plan on ever actually
being wealthy enough to write million-dollar checks,
but how would I restrain myself if I were? and how to avoid feeling like an asshat for
NOT donating however-much to whatever good cause, even though it's there in the
bank...
I mean, there are plenty of very-well-to-do philanthropists out there, and I'm
sure Warren Buffett and Bill Gates get this question all the time, but it seems
like Mr. AFP's philanthropic views are similar to my own.
