SO. I have been watching a ton of documentaries lately on wealth and how it affects society and individuals. One Percent and Born Rich (done by the same kid from the Johnson & Johnson family) have really made me think about wealth and what it means to me in my life.
I found these blunders that I thought corresponded to what I have been learning and how to stay in check.
7 blunders of the world
- Wealth without work
- Pleasure without conscience
- Knowledge without character
- Commerce without morality
- Science without humanity
- Worship without sacrifice
- Politics without principle
I have come to the decision that I am grateful at this point that I wasn't some heir to billions and that I have learned to work because I feel like it has helped me become more ambitious and feel self fulfilled, which is a problem most of the kids struggle with. I would love to say that I wouldn't be lazy or snoby, but there is a reason I am not in that situation. I am so grateful for my life and I wouldn't want it any other way. Amen.
