Mma Ramotswe of the
No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency reminisced about life in rural Africa, and criticized the empty lifestyle of the wealthy. "How sorry she felt for white people, who couldn't do any of this, and who were always dashing around and worrying themselves over things that were going to happen anyway. What use was it having all that money if you could never sit still or just watch your cattle eating grass?" (p 162. Alexander McCall Smith. New York: Pantheon Books, 1998). Ecclesiastes 4:6, "Better one handful with tranquillity than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind" (NIV).
