The Paradox of No Money and Too Much Money

There are so many paradoxes in life. Why do some of the saddest people happen to be rich? Why do some of the happiest people happen to have a little financial wealth? And of course these people with little want to eventually have less...so does that mean that they want to eventually be sad? Of course not. In spite of these paradoxes it is important for individuals to expose themselves to both sides of financial stories. A healthy exposure whether lived individually or lived through the experience of another can definitely help people to learn to not allow an abundance or lack of money to determine their happiness.

Poverty....oh poverty

I have never thought that poverty was similar to violence. But now, that I think of the forces behind poverty....I am finally able to see how it could be a form of violence. I think there are some oppressive systems in place which would rather think of profit than the cost of a human life. I am yet to learn about those systems, but take time with me today to reflect on how we can help uproot the systematic causes of poverty. Peace everybody!
