Does it make me a bad person that I get irritated when people, like the Secretary of State, toss around billion dollar figures like it’s Monopoly money
Discussion
No. It makes you sane.
A billion is yesterday’s million
A thousand is yesterday’s hundred
A dollar is yesterday’s penny
Irritated? It makes me outraged. Does it make you a bad person to be incensed by injustice? The Ramayana teaches via the character of Lakshmana that righteous anger is a virtue when wielded for good.
Maybe it's OK to be bad...
No, it's not OK to toss around bilions
It makes you sane and rational.
