I must admit to being none too bothered: I'll do what is required to bring the young mite up properly, and not be too much of an embarrassment to it. Then I may find me an hermitage when that is all done. The problem with accumulation goods and wealth is not that one might care to keep it for oneself....but that you saddle the next generation with it. And try as I might, even if I think of it as inherently unfair, I cannot keep from hoarding for those to come after me. And worse, I'm only slightly ashamed of myself for doing and thinking like that.
