The Best Paragraph I've Read:

This paragraph comes from an essay in the Wall Street Journal. The author is Moshe Bar. You can read the full essay here:

Zac & Don discuss the meaning behind doing things. They wonder if it is better to make your own repairs and cook your own food. They discuss whether there is value is not outsourcing the daily tasks you can do for yourself.
