Niceguy suggested of me when he asked me to be honest, wouldn't I be envious if I saw people having a good time in a yatch or in their fancy cars, that is projecting. I have been on a couple of private yatch's and never did it dawn on me to be envious of that, just didn't occur to me. And why would it, what I wanted was vastly different, yet some how I am deficient or too lazy so I am not being honest? That's just strange to me.

Why would people who have all they need and more need thanks from the wider world?

It's one thing to be appreciative of an employer that treats his employees with respect and considers them when they are having an exceptional year.... It's also nice when when the employer that freely admits to liking wealth also acknowledges the people that got him there.

Society places the most emphasis on being wealthy and powerful that when tragedy strikes and the wealthy lose it all they some times take their own lives. People like me can weather the storms because we don't expect quite as much or in fact need quite so much. That doesn't make me a saint, just practical for me.

People here in my poor county are not freaking out because they have always been frugal, it's the newer generations that are having a hard time these days. Those that have expected things to always be there.

My lively hood depends on people having extra cash, but they don't right now, so I have no extra cash after my utilities etc are payed, I am just not in a panic over it or angry with people that lost their jobs and now can't support my work.

Just another point of view expressed. I am not arguing with the fact that Niceguy felt the need to thank the rich and tell them that his own lack of whatever prevented his appreciation for them and stunted his own ability to be where they are now. But certainly not everyone is feeling envious or beating themselves up for not taking the opportunity to become wealthy.

If niceguy didn't want our opinion of his post why did he post it with out telling us not to respond, it was only for the rich. I guess I just am missing something here. Just rambling I will move on now.

did not the letter of thanks, for each each good work done by the rich, with each sentence thereafter, pose the thinking of debase of each poor thing???

please...

read the only thing, turn it around, apply it in ALL WAYS, TO ALL THINGS, THEN THERE IS SIGHT OF EQUAL.

well ya...thats how I saw it...it was sarcastic. telling poorer people to get some ambition and take some initatives...

if somehting is spoken, as a truth, and it does not apply 100% of the time, across the board, then it is but half truth, a apartial insight, as there are many rich, that indeed, ground the skin from their hands and heart, to get where they are.

Sure. It's not like they went to Harvard or Yale and ended up getting Wall Street jobs. Face it. The deck is stacked against the poor. Always has been and always will be. There is no such thing as a level playing field.

the only thing that protect any innocence from anything less good, is not to ban and instill fear of all that is bad, but to sharpen the little eye's of innocence of the child, to be able to spot what root thinking actually create all that is less desirable, and instill self confidence, that come's from never being able to be decieved by self first, then by no other.

to see what actual simple logic, which be only thinking, that created anything called as bad, or evil, or unfair, or injust, is but to force the mind to only put any stock, in any data as most important, that can and is and will always be, true 100% of the time.

Whatever. Get back to me when you can show some statistics of rich people who attended community college or dropped out of high school being in the majority.

indeed, why would i deny what is seen to have some truth in it???

but it is also true, and more beneficial, to truly see what "thinking" stack the deck against anything called as poor, to relieve self from the victim mentallity, giving sight of how to not be a victim, as a victim mentallity cripple anything to it's knee's, and what "partial data" always scoope into the minds of anything, that love any self pity at all.

Because clearly, the poor have equal access to Yale and Harvard. So much for equal opportunity.

why would i get back to you on anything???

the inference's you have surmized, to come from my statements, are sight thru but your eye's alone, as there was no mention in any of my words, any such thing's you are speaking of now.

to train the sight, to try to see what actions seperate all things from fair, is to miss what "logic", or motive, that must be present to create such things called as unfair???

only seeing what original motive, make all things on the surface, can show how to change it.

if one inspect these, it has found great sight, but of course, these nothing can see, less it first inspect these within itself.

yale and harvard and esteemed learning center's, only but most afford security, of prestige, which insure clout, and has not in many years, garnered any ability to become rich.

Oh please. There isn't any special requirement in intelligence to get into either of those schools. We just had eight years of a president who was a Yale graduate who is a poor speaker and sorely lacking in many other areas serving as a perfect example of the caliber of student these schools churn out.

Besides which, they really don't have to garner any ability to become rich, when you pretty much have to already be rich to go there in the first place.

The fact being not all wealthy are worthy of praise, just as not all poor are worthy of praise.

Some wealthy are haughty and forget their humanity all together. Some poor are that way because of their own misdeeds.

One should never generalize all of a certain type of human into one catagory or another for each human is different and unique.

I find it is better to have a positive view of humanity until proven wrong by the individual and then the individual becomes a problem in and by themselves.

Most rich people have had a hand up in their life from another human, they did not forge it alone. So they should never forget their roots and their humanity. Those rich who have are a disservice to those who haven't forgotten their human roots.

Some of the wealthiest people I know either went to comm college, a small state school or only have high school diplomas. you don't have to go to yale to be successful, you have to be ambitious, come in early, stay late, work hard.

if you dropped out of high school and you're broke, you get no sympathy. you had a chance to learn how to read, write, add and subtract. some teacher tried to get through and it didn't work, too busy to be bothered to finish high school? sorry

There you go again. I graduated high school and completed some vocational training in college to boot. You know nothing about me. We all know what happens when you assume.

Well said.

indeed you speak wisely, as the sight of anything is but a fact, and to allow the natural polorization of the mind toward bias, turn the mind into only but a thing of seeing despise, for all and anything that is not as itself, and weaken anything with poor logic, that bring it to it's own knee's in due time.

any brain find true satisfaction and wisdom, when it peer not very long, into anything that is not true but 100% of the time.

great insight girl.

peace

I was speaking in the non-specific second person, using 'you' in lieu of the stuffier 'one'. I wasn't questioning your education or work ethic.. I was emphasizing the importance of the same. to be succesful, one must be educated and have work ethic.

ease up and refute the statement

by the way..

We all need to make an effort to keep things civil in here. This board risks being shut down if we don't

says the person who impugnes all gun owners all mental deficients..

My apologies. I should know better than to take it personally, I guess. In that case, I agree with what you said. I am a firm believer in giving a "hand up" and not a "hand out."
