Which is worse : rich people drink and gamble themselves to death, or poor people drink and gamble themselves to death?
Which is better : rich people helping people, or poor people helping people?
Certainly different ups and downs, emotionally in a perspective. But overall, I'm having a question for how much of this 'wealth' has anything to do with anybody's quality of life 'till death.
I was told, soon the richest 1% of the population will have 99% of the world's economy. But does even bothering with those numbers makes me a materialistic person as much as a guy who's sad because he's poor or rich because he's obsessed?
People do what they do to themselves the same, rich or poor. So perhaps the question is, 'what are they're doing to everything else beside themselves?'
Well, in the nature, it is very common (if not always) for a bigger entities, by their scale, to disregard the other entities of much smaller scales, and obliviously so. Like a mold to an elephant. And the people with a lot of money tend to scale their influences pretty largely. And if humanity do our things well, it is quite imaginable to see the storm of the humanity with the population of over a trillion. And the more population we have the lower the individual's quality of life is going to go down, except for the few people who controls the advantage of it to grow themselves bigger, like an elephant to a mold. Unfortunately for the equality of the people plus their dreams and desires, energy don't appear out of a thin air. It transforms. This 'happiness by physical' got to go somewhere. And so far, today there's about 7 billion people, and it's doing what it's meant to be.
So far, I don't see anything 'unnatural' about any of these.
Many of us has been asking 'why are you like this?' to the economy or the people who controls most of it. But maybe we should point that question to the nature, since this not-unnatural phenomenon troubles many people.
But thing is, we are the nature.
And even in a smaller scale than a nature, most of the people who has problems with the 1% of the population dominating the world's economy are the same people who's paying them to be that way by merely just flowing without a doable solution for the majority.
And the paradoxical thing about this is that, if majority agrees that alternative solution, the guy with that solution becomes that 1% that he hated.
Nothing but the throne can be changed this way.
But what do we do to ourselves if we are the problems that we see, the problems that's not without the upsides?
Well, this one's my answer :
To the people who likes money, welcome to the world! Everything you can touch can be yours if you have enough pens and papers since those are the most powerful tools this apex species on the planet is using today.
To everyone else, you don't need things to be touchable to be yours, meaning the whole universe is at your disposal and it's infinitely sharable. So why bother with those tiny 'worldly' beings? Remember, they're like demons. They can't see you unless you see them.
And yes, rich people will be the ones with the controls with what happens to everything as far as any one of us can see. And some people don't like their lives being controlled by the others. But when it gets to a scale that big, isn't that just about the same as how we're already being controlled by the nature such as our evolutions or the gravity? Most people aren't upset about those. So why should this?
