Right. The issue of wealth is very simple, painfully so, if I may say.
Vision, opportunity or simple geography has blessed some people with more resources than others.
I guess money is a good thing. Money gives you commodities. It gives you security and prospects and the power to live the way you want.
The problem arises when some have too much money while some others too little. Then an unstable (and definitely unviable) Structure appears, where some have lots of choices and prospects (to the point of wasting) while others have very few or none.
No matter how poor you think you are, if you're reading this, it means that you have a computer and an internet connection, which makes us part of the richest people in the world.
That's right. The situation, planet-wide, is that bad.
Humanity is ONE. There are few truths bigger than this. No man (or a group, or a country of men) is an island. You cannot put limit to the people that affect you, or are affected by you. The happiness or distress of one is the happiness or distress of the whole and vice versa.
I know, it's so much easier to bypass that. If I'm getting by and my family and my friends, too, then I guess it's OK. After all, I'm not the richest in the world, not even in the country. I can hardly make ends meet. There are many others who can give some of their money or stop exploiting people in third-world countries. Right?
The thing is... let me put this through by relating someone else's words:
"The question that is always put is: 'All these viewpoints, the new theories of Modern Physics, what do they have to do with the so called 'real life' of Man?'
If we assume, like Classical Physics declares -or as the western society in its present form wants- that Man is a material construct with only material needs -eating, reveling, procreating- then Modern Physics is not needed at all. Classical Physics is enough.
But, think about this: A person whose only needs are eating, procreating and reveling, He hasn't many needs, He doesn't ask of the society many things.
A person who understands His True Nature, understands that He's a child of time-space, a child of the Universal Continuum, that His material substrate is nothing else but an image of His True Nature, asks for things that are outside His material reality, difficult to give by today's society. He asks for freedom. He asks for knowledge. He asks for participation in the decision-making. He asks for multitudes of things that society is not ready to give Him. That's why Modern Physics is not yet taught at the length that is needed. Society is not ready yet to accept that Man has to Know, because it realizes that when He Knows He will ask for things it cannot give Him."

In other words, if one wants to live like a Decent Human Being, he can do no less than act like one.
No hope, unless it's action.
