Morals on Laurels

We live in a world where the boy scouts accept girls, yet have all girl troops. Some fight against the death penalty and for mid-birth abortions.

Are billionaires hoarding YOUR money?

You can look at a guy like Bill Gates and see him as a Billionaire who has more money than he can ever spend and think that he just hoarded it all for himself, but he’s got a plan to give it all away and end many diseases in the process. You can say the same about Elon Musk, but some day he’ll be a part of history that gets us off this planet and brings us only God knows what.

Yeah, there are people that hoard what little they have, but some people just dream bigger than most of us ever dare. Don’t dog someone for being rich… try to figure out what they know that you you don’t, and try and pick up on the good parts if you can. The great thing about this life is that we’ve been given so much.. there’s more than enough resources– in fact, of just the resources on earth we know about, there are over 5 quadrillion dollars worth of raw materials– that means that every adult on earth could be a millionaire with lots left over. Don’t worry about how MUCH some have. Just be happy for the days you have left and the unlimited opportunities in those days.
