Money isn't it All

Somebody called Shaa sang, that although she doesn't have it all, she has a good heart. Mmmm so money isn't everything.

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.

Charity begins with whoever is around

Sometimes we think we are not doing any real help unless we are helping starving children in Africa or elsewhere, but even in America, 1 in 4 children are at risk of going to bed hungry, and need a helping hand. So we should not shy away from helping them too. Also, if you have a friend or enemy  close-by or afar who needs anything, be it morally, physically or psychologically just reach out and help them. The funny thing about helping others is when you realize that in the end you also feel wonderful....it is like a divine give and take. Try it and let me know....Great day!

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!
