SEEKING TO BE RICH?
If you’re seeking to be rich the first thing you should consider is that one can’t be rich without many others being much poorer. This is what makes someone rich, that he has much more money and a greater money flow than others. Now this may seem unfair or even evil to some. But it’s just a fact -- for a few people to be rich, many must be poor.
If you question this simple proposition consider this: If everyone had lots of money, then who would take all the low-paying jobs to serve them? For a few to have abundance, many others must be willing to work for a low wage.
Right now, if you own many things, the reason you can afford them is because many people in far off lands are working for pennies an hour to produce them. If everyone was paid the same amount of money per hour, no one would be much richer than another. (This is the case in early bartering societies. People exchanged what they produced and no one became wealthy.)
So, for one person to be rich, there must be many others who are poorer. And the wealthier some are, the poorer many others must be to support them.
This is economics 101 and works fine until a few want to get so wealthy that it necessitates that many others must work for so little and be so poor that life is a constant hardship. This is unhealthy for society, and at some point produces social unrest. And that’s what we’re beginning to see throughout our world.
So, for any society to be healthy there must be a reasonable balance between the rich and poor. So if you seek to be rich, seek along with it richness of spirit. For it’s through gaining richness of spirit that we’re most giving to others and help build a healthy and happy world.
Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
