Day 286, Modern dilemmas

Time was when magic beans were 10 a penny.

Local urchins used to be able to sell a kidney and with the 3 or 4 pennies they’d ‘earned’ they were able to buy a heap of magic beans.

They could then do what they liked with the beans, exchange them for a cow, or plant them and hope to climb up to a special kingdom of gold dripping giants.

Nowadays however it seems that magic beans are very hard to find indeed, and even though the number of pennies that will be given in exchange for a kidney is higher by a factor of many thousands it still isn't enough to buy a resource which is in such short supply.

Is it sensible to sell a kidney for any amount of money?

Is it worthwhile looking for magic beans?

Is it worthwhile learning how to be satisfied with the lack of magic beans and the surplus of kidney instead?

Perhaps, who knows huh.
