      The world is worse to live on because some rich kid had to buy back old letters from his dad?

        Actually, yes. Only by a tiny tiny bit, true. But it is a worse place for it. Do you think that kid, who did not choose who his dad was or who his dad chose to marry after divorcing his mom, would be happier if he could have had his only letters from his dead father while he was grieving instead of waiting until he could both build up the money and negotiate a price with his step mom? If that one kid would have been happier, then the world would have been a better place, even if only by a tiny tiny bit.
