here is my understanding of what you observed. This person/persons don't spend because they feel abundant, they spend and amass things because they feel lack. This is spending driven by the ego and it's desire to feel important, to have more than others, or to feel "More than".
this is different than being in a state of abundance.

I don't know where to go with this anymore. There are lots of people who spend and spend because they feel like there is no need to worry, and they get themselves into real sticky situations. There are people addicted to gambling, who are absolutely CERTAIN that they are going to win it all back, and they lose everything. People who have to break into their kids' piggy banks to go buy food because they've spent every last cent at the casino, because they KNEW they would win. They still know they will win. Next time.
And spending the ten bucks on gambling (lottery tickets) because it's fun, when you may or may not have another ten bucks tomorrow for the diabetic cat (or the diabetic child, for that matter) -- you seriously tell me that's ok? Because tomorrow, lots of money might just appear out of nowhere? |
