That doesn't mean my life is perfect, far from it, but I just would feel sort of weird and immoral about getting solutions to my problems handed to me for nothing. It would be *nice*, but I wouldn't feel right about wishing for it. Or praying for it, or anything else that means you don't have to go out and fight for it yourself.
