| Money does not add value to who you are. |
There is something to think about when politicians promise to create conditions for prosperity, even wealth, and that is because money makes no one happy. Having more means that unhappy people will live with more instead of living unhappy with less.
When I am told that the wealthy have too much money and it isn't fair my first thought is not that it is unfair but instead I wonder why the person doing the telling is so worried about what someone else has.
Certainly being comfortable is important, and if it were humanly possible to make everyone comfortable I would be all for it--but it isn't happiness.
The Value of Money Isn't the Value of Character
And then there is our society that is so focused on what we have--more money, although it is equated with being so makes no one more valuable than any other person.
Jesus Christ Taught the True Value of a Person
Equality is not a new idea. Jesus Christ preached equality for everyone--no one greater than the other, everyone's role as important as every other role.
I doubt that I am the only one who has gotten this mixed up because of its prevalence so I will repeat myself: money, things, material goods, location of home, job position, not being president of the U.S.A. or having umpteen bunches of degrees--not one of these adds value to WHO a person is. AND if someone tells you it does just disregard the message.
