[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 6036369, member: 24302"] Jesus said we would always have poor people. Life isn't about being wealthy. But you can have a better life by assisting others around you as you can and treating everyone the way you'd like to be treated. If you have food, clothing, and shelter then your material needs are essentially met. Everything else is about what you want. And what you're willing.to do to obtain it. Some have much more because they're willing to work hard. Others take what they want even if it means harming.others. We'll all be judged accordingly. Just remember what some would characterize as exploitation in the U.S. would be considered a great opportunity for a better life in much of the world. First World problems mean little to someone living on two dollars a day in Africa. Yet in spite of having little many of those people are often happier. Solace is often found in family, community, and simplicity. [/QUOTE]
