“And that is the luckiest thing of all, isn’t it?” Combeferre let his hand linger in hers for a moment before sitting back. “There are-“ he began, then hesitated. Would he insult her if he spoke his mind on the nature of wealth? Combeferre had not shied from the subject of politics with her, but neither had he been very explicit. “There are plenty of people as privileged as you who do not realized the advantages they have been given. I could say the same for most of the people I have known in my life as well. Poverty and suffering are terribly easy to ignore when one is ensconced in comfort and safety. But I have always believed that what mattered is what you do with those circumstances - how you use all that wealth and love to better others’ lives, and perhaps even ensure that such privilege is not always limited to a few."
