Manoj Bhargava said in the letter while taking thepledge

My choice was to ruin my sons life by givinghim money or giving 90+% to charity. Not muchof a choice.

Service to others seems the only intelligent

choice for the use of wealth. The other choicesespecially personal consumption seem either

useless or harmful.
