Charles Handy thought for the day on spiritual net worth and using one's assets to help and enrich others. Handy begins the article discussing how big banks are preparing tax write offs of up to tens and hundreds of millions of dollars as provisions against bad debtors. Handy uses this occurrence, and happenings in his own early life, to reflect on the fact that in most religious traditions people have to give an account of their lives at the end of it. He concludes that life should be equal parts giving and getting, and that one's spiritual net worth is based upon how much one gives of their special assets.
