The True Awareness of Being Rich
It seems that somewhere, majority of humans took the wrong fork on the road to progress and posperity and based it on material gains where having more equated to success and power. These humans built their societies and lives on material things where being rich equates to all the material, tangible things you possess or your money can buy.
Simply put, in their world, you are as rich as the monetary worth of your assets and bank balance.
The square footage and opulance of your houses, the prestige and number of your cars, the size and sparkle of your jewellers, the exoticness and frequency of your yearly holidays and even the extent of your monetary philanthropny — all determine your worth, in your own eyes and in the eyes of your family, peers and larger society.
Satistically, in todays world there are approx 3000 billionaires in the world, and some 56M millionaires. In a world populated by close to 8 billion people, if we do the math, that number equates to less than one percent.
That is bad news for rest of the 99% of humans who are excluded.
If you don’t make the cut of one percent of uber rich, and you are somewhat materially inclined, you are basically fighting the math your whole life which, lets face it, is stacked heavily against you.
