To all believers in wealth,
Probably I should take this subject more seriously than I do, but it's not central to me. What I see is that we have invented a word, a term, named Wealth and assigned it to all of everything. Animal, vegetable and mineral. Our planet's wealth. Our nation's wealth. We people are our national resource, or part of our nation's wealth. My house, my land, my bank account are part of my personal wealth.
But by inventing this thing called Wealth, making it different from all that is our World, and setting it up as something to be desired and to fight for, to possess at all costs, to worship those who take the most, we have sown the seeds of our own destruction.
Generations of our erroneously calling Wealth something real has created total chaos in our Human Family. Our very instinct to share and protect one another is seized upon by the mentally ill who worship possession of other peoples stuff. Inventing Wealth has given Greed the ability to rule our lives. We both hate and worship Greed. By putting so much importance and high value on our imaginary Wealth, we are destroying our very Planet.
So it's not the word Wealth we should be fussing about, but rather, the concept as we have come to define it. We must end the false belief that taking from one another is a sign of greatness. We must get over the notion that one of us can "own" part of that which belongs to everyone, including all Life that lives here with us. If we don't change how we define Wealth, and if we don't come to the place where we understand that we all share equally in this Garden of Eden, we are doomed. We will continue to grab, steal, bomb, lie and deceive one another in order to "possess" that which in the end cannot be possessed.
