You summed up very well what I meant by my example of a chain of events being needed to make something happen. It seems ironic when a wealthy person, possibly through some corrupt means, uses his or her wealth to help other people. I think the intention is to buy good publicity rather than genuinely help.
Reality can be tough and sometimes we need to escape from reality for our own good. However, we need to know what reality is in order to escape from it sometimes. If we are delusional about what is happening in our lives, we are limiting are ability and opportunities to make our lives better.
