Strongly disagree here. Can hardly think of a worse crime committed to oneself than allowing oneself becoming or staying poor.
'poor' and 'rich' are relative. Many of today's poor have a higher standard of living than those who lived 200 years ago. Not to mention thousands of years ago.
There is such a thing as peace of mind. Wealth does not buy it. You don't think there are millions living a decent life, not rich, not poor, at least in material goods, that aren't happy?. Don't inflict your sensibilities on others. Set your goals, and be happy when you reach them, understanding they come with a whole new set of problems. Reach out. Teach. Bring people to your level. Drag them up, instead of pushing them down. Empowerment. It's a happiness that if you've not felt it, you are truly deprived. I am very blessed having several people look up to me, admire my values, and allow me to help them. Try it. What do you think the Sith Lord is thinking right now? It's the end of his life for all intents and purposes. Look at Madoff. He's one demented son of a bitch, but I wonder if he thinks it all was worth it? Think about it. He's crapping on an aluminum toilet with two other guys watching. Nice. There's six handles on a casket. Wanna end up like Mark Madoff? That 20 mm ain't spit. I suggest you start nurturing six friends. I ought to write a book. But I can't bear to relive this. They didn't even claim the body.
"But it's my right!!!!" "No. You see, when you stole 50bb, and you ruined all those lives, you resigned those rights." Betcha some big bilionaires in Ct. are pacing tonight. Good.
Short story on white collar crime. Going back years ago, I get divorced, we have a 4 yo daughter, ex wife remarries. The guy she married works for a company and the owner is stealing his company blind. Soon he isn't paying his employees, including my ex's new husband. I'm calling this guy pleading for him to pay my ex wifes new husband, because frankly I know where this is going. The new husband is going to relocate out of state if he has to get a new job and take my daughter with him. The owner gets busted goes to jail, ex wife and kid move across country and that was that. White collar crime has trickle down effects that really change peoples lives.
Except now, there is no job to relocate to. Just wait till Illinois tells Joe Retiree they are going to cut his check in half. Then Calif, and NY, then NJ...... I' m going to the pistol range three days a week.
flytiger I loved your bit regarding the 2 canines--chile-video. The injured one and the other that came to assist. Of course he came to assist--that's the code they run by. One thing Im in the process of doing, at this very moment, is finishing a program regarding people and their pet pupsters. Dogs are one of my favorite things on earth. Let me leave u with a good Mark Twain adage--" If you pick up a starrving dog and make him prosperous he will not bite you. This is the principle difference bewteen a dog and a man.. No Winston dont try to "fit" your hero, the gracious Mr. Madoff into Twain's statement. Thanks to all for the good honest discussion. Talk soon, limbo
