Walahiiiiiii you and I are better off rich than otherwise.
The rich neither have nor understand the pain of the poor, they don’t have their issues, concerns nor do the same things keep them awake at night.
The poor are hungry, the rich watch their diet?
The rich are concerned about family planning the poor can’t be bothered or believe the least they can do it maximize the gift of child bearing.
The rich go on vacation, the poor save their money otherwise never have enough to spend.
One term in the primary school of the rich pays for a life of time education for the poor.
The list of differences is endless.
My questions are, do they have all they want?
How do the rich get rich, how do they get to where they are?
What plays the major factor in their getting rich?
Did they always know they were going to be rich?
How do they spend their money, on who, on what, when do they spend their money?
I suppose we all would never support unethical approaches to getting rich but we would probably not mind the good effect and comfort riches bring.
The poor need the money of the rich, the rich need to help the poor.
If they don’t the effect of the poverty will eventually affect the rich.
Money is good, people who say it’s not, have neither seen nor felt the effect of it.
I want to be rich, only God knows what I would do with it when I get it. Welllllll.............
More than that I want to be influential, have good health and positively affect mankind, I would like to believe we all want the same. Cha Cha.

Hmmmmmm riches... that six letter word does make the world go round. well i personally think that once you can learn to draw the line between riches and wealth then we know which one it is to really go after.. I am not bothered about being rich but i want to be extremely wealthy.. being wealthy as far as i am concerned goes beyond being rich.. it includes having the love of family, good health, peace of mind, sound mind and most importantly knowing and enjoying the love of God.. If looked at in these terms there are some so called poor people that are wealthier than the rich ones in the things that really matter..
I can honestly say that being rich can at times be a stumbling block. the reason being that you never really know who loves you just for who you are of just because of what he or she can get from you. You actually are then not able to let down your guard even with your immediate family and in a sense you are not alone but you are lonely.. and you build this wall around yourself. you try to find out what the people around you's motives are.
Having said all these in favour of wealth as opposed to riches.. Riches does make the world much more intersting and comfortable place and i for one would not say no to being rich!!
