HAVING PLENTY

There are two ways to go through life. One is having plenty and the other is always being in want. Wealth and poverty are opposed to each other. Wealth and poverty are relative in that there are degrees of each. Wealth is to be desired over poverty at each level. Having an abundance of necessities is good and the opposite is also true. When someone is lacking an abundance of necessities, they need to find out why it is that way.

The reason that people are in poverty is that they do not understand how to be wealthy. This is obvious. People in poverty lack understanding of the way things work. Thus, their situation is self perpetuating. Parents do not teach their children any financial skills because they have nothing to pass on in the way of knowledge. People in poverty are unsuccessful financially. All that they can pass on is how to fail.

Wealth is associated with life and poverty with death. This is why it is important to further life by generating wealth. Wealth is good and poverty is bad. Securing an income is essential in building wealth and having plenty. However, just having an income is not enough. Income is to be used to buy goods and services that are essential to life. Securing an income presupposes being productive. Gainful employment is the foundation of wealth building.

Production is the world of activity. The main reason that people are in poverty is because they are lazy. Poverty stricken people do not like to labor. They hate work with all their heart and then they wonder why they cannot get ahead. They blame it on the man or the system rather than looking within why they are lazy. To secure themselves a living, they will seek to have the civil government stick the gun in the belly of the productive and force them to pay their earnings to the indolent.

These indolent have no sense of pride in themselves. While they may be able to survive, it is a meager existence. It is really a subhuman existence. There whole life is wrapped up in living hand to mouth. This is a miserable state. Those who are ambitious are able to direct their lives into life sustaining paths. They live in a high state. They are living above the minimal. They have more options in life and are able to enjoy the good things of life.

The diligent can choose what they want to eat, not be at the mercy of whatever is available. The diligent can look in the freezer or refrigerator and choose steak, chicken, fish, salad, hamburger etc. for dinner. The lazy do not have this advantage. They do not have the ability to choose. The frugal are well stocked up in foodstuffs. They have used a list when going grocery shopping because they have planned ahead what meals they are having that week. Those in poverty do not have this ability because, they do not plan ahead. They are incapable of forming plans. This is why they are in and will remain in poverty.
