I don't hate rich people for being rich. Sometimes I get frustrated when I view rich people misusing their power.

I look to see so many wonderful inspiring, ethically minded wealthy people and then I see my landlord. I gotta do some healing work on my feeling towards my landlord. He has every right to enjoy his wealth in anyway he sees fit I just find him selfish and thoughless. He is a very wealthy man who turns the heating off in our home in the winter (we are on his land and our electric is connected to his home). He has a largish garden which we feel we are not allowed to sit in unless they are on holiday. I hurts to look out of the window and miss out on the garden time in the summer. We are moving next month, its essential. But it feels hard in my heart to see someone with such great material wealth and not use it in a loving nurturing way. If it had been my wealth I would have allotted a section of the garden to my tenants and also give them the freedom of the central heating when they want it.

So yeah, I dont know about hate, hurts. And I grow frustrated because I allowed myself to live under such circumstances and I have been looking at this a lot. My partner most of the time is able to step back and just let it pass through him, I sometimes feel a bit too sensitive to do this.

I know how I want to use my wealth as I create it, perhaps I should have compassion for this gentlemen and see his choices as a lesson in how not to use money? and power?

SELF TALKING HERE LOL!!
