When people talk about other people… “They’re so rich, they have millions of dollars…” what are they complaining about? or how can their life be so hard?
This is so contradictory to me.
This comment seems to imply that money solves all our problems. But I’m assuming no one would ever agree with that. Or maybe people just don’t want to hear about rich people’s “everyday” problems.
But I think my point is, money doesn’t solve personal problems, and I think most everyone would agree with that. Yes, money solves livability issues like food and shelter. But money doesn’t solve issues with fear, anger, jealousy, insecurity, bitterness, resentment, in fact it mostly likely exacerbates it.
So the fact that someone without money thinks money might help those issues go away or somehow it’s easier to have awareness, manage and overcome those issues with money, really doesn’t know what’s at the root of those issues and how to overcome them at all.
In fact, it means we’re all the same with or without money. We’re all suffering from the same issues of fear, insecurity, anger, jealousy, resentment… Maybe money seems to give the appearance of letting people get away with all those issues with glamorous extravagance, but I think we’re getting away with it in our own way, rich or poor.
Dismissing someone’s problem just because they have money, seems to imply the opposite and maybe takes us off the hook of having compassion and understanding even for the “rich”. But we’re all just the same.
Love for all.
