Question

Read this selection from "What I Hope to Leave Behind." A man said to me recently, "I would like before I die to live in a community where no individual has an income that could not provide his family with the ordinary comforts and pleasures of life, and where no individual has an income so large that he did not have to think about his expenditures, and where the spread between is not so great but that the essentials of life may lie within the possession of all concerned. There could be no give and take in many ways for pleasure, but there need be no acceptance of charity." What is the main idea of this selection?

Answer: We should always take pleasure in the simple things in life.

Step-by-step explanation:

What I hope to leave behind” written by Eleanor Roosevelt teaches us about the importance of family in one’s life.

The passage helps explains that the man dreams was for a community where no one was deprived of giving his families all the basic comforts of life even if they are ordinary.

Also, that his income should too much that he just spends without thinking of how much he has spent or is spending. That one should find comfort and happiness in the ordinary things of life.
