While being rich takes other peoples time
Not so profound but wait a minute
If being poor is your life experience
For good or bad you find you are poor
Stay thinking you are poor and everything in your life can revolve around being poor
Go beyond the material and you can be richer than the rich of the material type
Being rich on the other hand and your life revolves around being rich
And this is a very numbing experience for many reducing everything down to monetary values as so many do
Being materially rich often has you wanting more because that is all that you know or care about
It has you worried about losing what you have in a very paranoid sort of way
So being rich demands that you make sure it is all safe
Are they really so different?
Well yes they are
.
The one worrying about how to survive
The other worrying about how to protect what he has
The two are very different psychologically
The poor are, research shows, more spontaneously generous
The rich not so
The poor know how to live in powerlessness
The rich know how to use their power
The poor live where they can
The rich live where they choose
The poor on the other hand have little to protect
The rich must surround themselves with protections, often making them prisoners of their possessions
Not seeing that they are prisoners of their very own wealth
Ultimately the poor are often rich while the rich are often poor
Ironic really that being rich can make you poor in spirit causing so many to drown in their possessions
Judging others solely by their physical assets
By how much it costs to buy them, use them, exploit them
The poor once they go beyond their material poverty can become free in a way so much more difficult for the rich
The materially poor can focus on going beyond material assets into the realm of the psyche
The rich are about me and mine, while often the poor are about us and we
The journey of freedom for both is the same
To go beyond what I have to what I am
What I can become
What I can do with my life
What would you choose?
What is your life about?
Have you chosen to serve or be served?

talking about rich and poor, i came across this blog... i guess the child here is the meaning of being poor.
Very good indeed. spontaneous as the effect of overcoming the inter fact that the rich in a way are poor and the poor in a way are rich. Very good indeed. I give all the credit in the world to whoever wrote this. Also, the picture. Such little movement going on in the picture but so much meaning Love you guyz to bitz xoxo babe <33
