That's a super story and you make some good points. However, you've got a couple of plot holes here.

1) Why was your mother on welfare while getting her Masters? I don't presume to know your family's situation, but why didn't she get a job?

2) You first present the option that people create and invent out of necessity. Then, later, you state that people who "might die tomorrow" won't do that. Do we all not cower under the possibility that we might die tomorrow?
