"Give it a second! It's going to space!"

Every day I wake up and am reminded, in glaring ways, what a bizarre world this is. There are people who live 100 yards from me who sleep on THE DIRT every night, who walk MILES just to get a few gallons of water, and have never seen a picture of themselves.  Yet here I am having a phone conversation with people who live half-way around the world.   Maybe someday I will fully comprehend the magnitude of such disparity.
