There is absolutely nothing positive about poverty. It's religion which has created and perpetuated this myth to keep the masses docile: don't try to change anything in this life, accept the status quo, and you will be rewarded in some imaginary afterlife. There are now tens of millions of Americans who have bought this lie hook, line, and sinker. As a result they eagerly await rapture because they see no value in this life. This is tragic in my view.
A real eye-opener is the section on Wallace Wattle's book on how money helps you to live a fuller life and do more good. With money you can affect real change in the world. Look at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Without money the good you can do is limited to minor things like mowing your elderly neighbor's lawn. |
