When It Becomes Relative

So when does it become relative? I read that my county in Massachusetts ranks second to last in the number of food stamp applications. Now I live in a town where the people in my church tell me constantly how much they can't afford to give. And I can see that they generally aren't going off to jobs as CEOs every week. They own their own landscaping services, or small construction companies. Right after they put their weekly $5 in the collection plate, they take off to their sailboat.

Things I used to be able to do but probably never will again:
own a home
go out to dinner at the spur of the moment
give generously
take good health for granted
