Life :: Constant Work in Progress

On certain days, my views towards life are more materialistic than principles driven.  Today must be one of those days.

Contrary to many fundamentalists thinking, I see that Respect doesn’t necessarily come from your accomplishments or your social positions.  Ultimately one respects you when you have “money.”  You could be a Nobel prize winning social movement leader yet you will die in pain with no medication if you don’t have a dime to save your day.  While money does not guarantee “happiness”, it ENABLES you to create a surrounding that can make you happy.

Look around you.  People who have “money” are treated differently.  Yes the rich declares wars that the poors fight and bleed.  I’m not saying being rich is the riteous path of living at all times.  God only knows many rich folks have gotten there with some “slim shady” way of things.

You want to be respected?  Have money.  Even your children will not abandon you when you get old as long as you have money.
