    Every day we all complain about not having enough, not having the newest clothing or shoes, not having a nicer car, we wish we were rich, but guess what? You are rich! People in Africa and all over the world have to dig through the trash to feed their families, kids die of malnutrition every day, they live in houses with holes and dirt floors, yet we have the audacity to complain because we do not have more and more then the person next to us, the truth is guys, we are all rich we must humble ourselves and realize how good we really have it, wake up people.

    Having stuff isn't everything, you live in a community which has been subverted. Many people in the western world have very few to no real social relationships, they have a lot of stuff but they have to slave all day just to pay rent/mortgage and bills. We live in a system controlled by a specific group of people whom we cannot mention or criticize and are currently enslaving people to unimaginable levels.

    At the moment, your liberty of going out, travel, opening your business, ownership of your face has all been taken and you think you are free and say "how good we really have it"?

    Yes, we have stuff! A lot of stuff but what is this worth if your government (which works for a specific "sacred" group of people who are beyond naming or criticism) can put you under house arrest at any moment, take your children away from you or order you to wear a burka?

    This group of "sacred" people have gotten us addicted to porn (They create it most of it and they changed obscenity's laws in the US to allow its wider spread), they control the brain washing you get with movies (Own all of Hollywood and Netflix), control the celebrities' you watch, changed history to their advantage, changed social structure, and have stolen all the wealth of the world. Having stuff isn't everything and is certainly worth nothing if you have no freedom.

    Well freedom and being rich are very different things, I agree the global elite rule over us all, and true freedom can never exist especially not in this generation.

    Yeah, I call that, having perspective, I'm filthy rich compared to the people described, also, I'm broke as fuck compared to Elon Musk hahahaha

    One have to learn to be happy with what oneself have, but that's not exclusive with wanting to progress and have more.
    Just be aware that having more doesn't equal more happiness.

    My Journal
    I live in Africa -__- '... Here is a different version:

    Many are born Blind, be blessful for having beautiful eyes!
    Many are deef, they can't hear - Be thankful
    Many can't walk or use their limps - Be thankful
    Many are prisonners around the world - Be Thankful for Freedom!
    Many are sick and bedridden - Be thankful for not having any pain and not stock to a bed!

    And many many other things, you just can't see them because you just don't feem them, to someone who've been missing them their whole life, it will look like heaven to them. Be thankful for having everything.

    Are we rich ?

    Would you sell your Eyes/Lungs/Heart for 10 Million Dollars ?

    Be honest with me, will you trade your Health ( including all his 90 years old health issues )/ youth with Warrent Buffets health/youth for half of his Net worth ?

    He is 90 years old, ( May God give him a longer healthy life ).

    If the answer is No! you already have something worth more than what was mentioned above, you just don't taste it!

    Thanks for reading, this was my version - The version of an African!

    I come from this with a very biblical approach, (Matthew 6:24-26 No one can serve two masters. The person will hate one master and love the other, or will follow one master and refuse to follow the other. You cannot serve both God and worldly riches. So I tell you, don’t worry about the food or drink you need to live, or about the clothes you need for your body. Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothes. Look at the birds in the air. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. And you know that you are worth much more than the birds.) the question we need to ask is are we rich in the eyes of the Lord God? Because the lord said it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle then for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. This is not saying riches are bad but many people make wealth and materialistic things their priority and God.

    Good words man. We really are doing good. It's hard getting stuck in the trap of "I'm not as rich/healthy/handsome/etc. as the guy next door", but that also sets you up to say "At least I'm better than these people for xyz reasons". I've found the best way to get over this is to be present, love your neighbors and friends, and practice thankfulness every day.
