So next time you see The Shard poking the London fog, smile. It cost a fortune, but it also cost nothing at all—because you get to enjoy it for free. The view, the story, the ridiculousness of it all.
And if you’re feeling inspired, go look up how much the Burj Khalifa cost. I promise you’ll laugh, then gasp, then feel a little bit more alive. Because numbers like these aren’t boring—they’re just stories that haven’t been told yet. Go tell them.
