Crabby Ideals

The way to turn our economy around is not by making rich people poorer, it's by making poor people richer. ~ Marco Rubio

If you have children you wish them to be rich, happy, and successful. If you don’t have kids, you hope that you will be rich, successful, and happy. If you have both, you wish both those things. In fact, this ideal is called the American Dream. However, when people attain that goal, those who have that same wish, start muttering privileged and upper class.

It’s easy and understandable to be envious of those who have things that we don’t have. However, it’s not appropriate or in any way to wish them evil because we do not have what they have.

It just seems ridiculous how we all wish to be rich in life, but in the mean time we hate those that have reached that plain. It feels like we should be cheering those who have good fortune, because one day we’ll all be cheering that we all have a better life.

Sure, it makes sense if those who have reached the top treat others like dogs. However, not everyone is like that. Just because someone’s ancestor worked real hard does not make them snobs or people who look down on others.

The only reason when we can complain is when rich people have come by that way through illegal activities, and even then it would be up to the authorities, or to you until you have told them.

There’s too much of this whole crab mentality. People are still people rich or poor. Furthermore, people seem to expect the rich to act in a certain way and give their money away to charity. An expectation that is not put on the poor. 

If you have a million dollar you don't have to give it away, just as, if you have five dollars you don't have to give it away. It's your money. Yes, giving away money it’s something nice to do, but being rich doesn’t mean you have to give it away. Rather helping our fellow beings is something that the poor and the rich should do, and not exclusively to the rich because of what they earn.

 

Whether poor or rich, what does it matter? Being poor is not a pleasant experience, being rich is much, much superior. When we are all rich that’ll be a great day, but in the mean time we shouldn’t criticize those who are rich. Otherwise, we will only be criticizing ourselves because we hope to be rich and successful one day.
