I'm going to take a moment to burn a little karma.

May you choke on your cynicism while you sleep.

Edit: what, no downvotes? Clearly I have no idea what motivates you people.

You seem like a nice human being, truly wishing death upon someone because they find your precious sob story hokey is the hallmark of someone who is empathic and mature.

EDIT: Oh wait, I see now! It was not your intention to actually emulate the hilariously 2D caricatures in the story and be sympathetic and nice to all comers, no that something you reserve for the safe idealized realm of fiction where there is no chance for disappointment by the messy and contradictory things we call humans. I've got your ticket man and you seem to be in good company with the majority of HN, I mean who would have guessed that the money hungry posers on this site would be into empty sentimentality?

You see the little gray triangles to the left of my post? Click the one pointing down and be about your business.

Edit: you talk too much.

He doesn't have enough karma to do that.

Cynicism mostly. One can hope for that as a prime motivator. Clearly, lazy sentimentality isn't good for recognizing the real suffering and injustice being experienced in this world.
