In a time of economic strain it is all too easy to fall into a panic, money however is not everything. My dear readers I would like to propose a radical idea, you may have heard of it, it is called sharing !
They that share with one another cheerfully will not lack, why? because sharing gets more accomplished in a more efficient manner. Example: Let's look at work, A company that offers carpooling is sharing and helping it's employees. How? because carpooling is far more efficient than to have multiple vehicles, all guzzling gasoline to get to the same place.
If we all carpooled whenever possible, we would save fuel and as long as we used our fuels wisely, we might even have a surplus after a while. The problem with the economy is this, I'll say it flat out, greed and hoarding. The big wigs are too busy hoarding their wealth (which doesn't really do much for them either if it just sits around, does it?)
Greed and the Love of Money is what causes economic hardship, the rich keep getting richer and the poor suffer because the "wealthy elite" get more money hungry as the days go by.
Here's another radical idea, to the wealthy, let go of your tight fisted grip on your wealth and it will come back to you in ways you never imagined.
Share the wealth, realize that it isn't everything and that Love,Charity and Philanthropy are far more important. The three afore-mentioned actions are what will have the longest lasting impact.
The way I see it, if we have abundance we should share with those that don't. Keep in mind that we can't take it with us when we go, so there's no point in hoarding it while we're here.
I think sharing is key to thriving.
Greed and selfish pursuits on the other hand lead only to failure and misery.
