Maybe Mrs Chuck shaped circumstances in such a way that he had to spend an

It would be arrogant for me to assume I had the right, (perhaps the divine
imperative!), to shape curcumstances on the rest of the planet for my personal
benefit.

I don't think it would be arrogant of you to *try* to shape
circumstances on this planet for any reason you desire. After all,
isn't that what you are attempting in this NG, albeit at a smaller
scale?
