I like rich people. And I'm looking forward to continuing to increase my income in 2007, because I provide value to others. And if I want to make more $$$ I can. And if you want to make more, then you can too  |
I like your post. However, I'm a nit-picker :-P.
You're contradicting yourself. It doesn't look like it on the surface, but you are. Let me see if I can explain...
In the first paragraph that I quoted, you realize that rich people are just people, and whoever you are as a person is independent of how wealthy you are.
Immediately after that, you state that you like rich people.
So - first you are saying that there is no rich people, just people. Then you are saying that you like rich people. How can you like rich people when being rich isn't something that defines someone?
The way I look at it is similar to your views, with a slight distinction. I agree that kind people are kind, despite their wealth. And mean people are mean, despite their wealth. People are just people. I agree.
But now we can't say that we like rich people because they're rich. A rich person is a poor person is a kind person is a mean person. If you want to BE RICH... then BE RICH. If you like rich people, then you are putting "rich people" outside of yourself, and liking that external idea. If you want to be rich, then start liking yourself, and liking yourself as rich.
Maybe that made sense :-P.
