Thank you for writing this. The "Me First" crowd is pretty loud today (and, of course, it's super loud in your comment section). They've been singing the same song for decades (the sky is falling and so let's just focus on ourselves and our needs and not create a new life that might help save the world).

But ultimately, life is always about a cause greater than yourself. As Padre Pio said, the root of all evil is me, myself, and I.
