MY FRIEND, THE WOULD-BE MOTHER TERESA

My friend is young, talented, good-looking and makes a lot of money. Technically, I should hate her, but guess what? she’s really nice, too. Her one problem: not being happy enough with all that. Mostly she’s guilty about her entitlement, and always expresses envy for my long-term involvement with social causes. Instead of quietly doing her own pro bono work, she’s come up with a plan to shake up her life with a humanitarian mission to a pretty dire part of the world. Fine, but I’m afraid she’s just going to come home and feel empty all over again. Is this a wise move for a person like that?
