Everybody deserves to not be rich or they cannot be rich?

Asked by 12 year old

Everybody deserves to be have enough money to be able to take care of their needs and lead a reasonably comfortable life. This does not happen because of two reasons.

  1. Most people are selfish and do not want to share what they have. The greed of few leaves holes for others.
  2. Not all are meant to be rich. Or we can say that there are different kinds of wealth such as intelligence, compassion, love, peace, strength, endurance, courage, faith. Everyone gets their share in life but very few realise it and use it well. Most remain busy trying to get something that they do not have because they see others have it. In the process they neglect what they have and since they do not value it, they tend to lose it.

Affectionately,

Alok da.

Yes, I agree that for the average human being, these outer frameworks and social institutions do serve a purpose of holding people together. Of course, as I mentioned, marriage or not, love and togetherness can be beautiful and ought to be so. But for that, man needs to evolve beyond the present frameworks, which operate as long as one accepts the limits of dos and don’ts. …
