What i am saying is being taken out of context. I am not saying having money is a bad thing. I am not saying that rich people are evil. I could name many rich people who i admire. But i can name a hell of a lot more who became greedy because of it.
The point why i posted was to add some balance, and make the point that you dont have to be rich to change things.
Maybe i can come across self righteous in my writings. ( in a soul profile i was told why, thanks Anna Conlon ;-)
I am a minimalist who is not afraid of being rich or money. I am only afraid of the strangehold money can have... the urge for more can become addictive. It sounds to me in this forum there are many altruistic people who want money to do good things, i wish you all lots of it. Money in the right hands can change the world.
