If You Want Abundance, Then Maybe Stop "Hating" People With Abundance.

People want to be wealthy, but people also want to criticize the wealthy for being wealthy. 😆 Like, okay, stay peasants and stop complaining, then, "Mother Theresa". (Re: *Sarcasm.*)

On a serious note, though . . . . Wealth or the lack thereof is not a sole indicator of someone as a person. Character, personality, self-worth, etc.

A lot of wealthy people really do work hard for their money, and - even if they are a part of a wealthy family - a lot of them still work really hard, striving to prove their talents and their skills in what they do.

(Some people might even try to hide their "status", because they might feel like people might not take them seriously or think that they don't deserve what they have or that they haven't / don't work for it.)

A lot of times, people can be critical, assuming: "Oh, they just got the job because of family!" Well, whether or not someone did, that even happens in average income / lower income situations, too. There are people in average income / lower income families that would help a family member to get a job, too. Isn't that something to be grateful for / positive about? Don't we want for people to succeed and have abundant lives? Don't we want for people to be able to provide and even have some nice things here and there? Maybe not all people would want that, yet some people might.

Why put other people down for opportunities that we also want? Isn't that a conflicting message? "Do as I say, but not as I do."

You can have both morals and money. And having wealth doesn't necessarily have to mean an obsession with money or being frivolous / selfish ... or even trying to have "all of the money in the world".

People can be financially stable and still generous and kind and compassionate. Wealth isn't necessarily bad. With wealth, we can help ourselves and other people. We can give and build and provide and take care of and support.

And there are a lot of people that also spend and save and invest and donate their money wisely and a lot of people that don't make money their number one priority.

People are people. Possessions don't necessarily mean that they're greedy, de-sensitized, and / or un-caring. Everyone deserves a chance. The presence or lack of objects doesn't necessarily mean that someone has a good life or a bad life, that they do or don't have problems. Basically everyone has problems.

Some people might have issues with jealousy / feeling like they want it all and should have it all. Maybe even feeling like it should all be for them and no one else. But - because someone else has something that they don't have - that upsets / intimidates / threatens them. So, yes, people can still be greedy and selfish even if they don't have a lot of money and / or a lot of possessions.

You don't necessarily have to "work hard" ... how about "working wisely"? :)

Obviously, not everything is all about money. Money can be helpful, though. Money is just a thing that people associate with different attributes. It can be used for good or for bad.

The scriptures say that the love of money is the root of all evil, not that money, itself, is evil. Money can buy us food and drink, clothing, shelter, medical / mental treatments, programs, things that could save lives, etc. Being obsessed with it, making it priority numero uno to the point of becoming de-sensitized and hurting living beings / doing bad things for money ... now that's when it becomes unhealthy ... but the money, itself, again, is just an object that is being regarded / used in that way.

Just because someone has money, that doesn't make them greedy. Just because someone has stuff, that doesn't make someone spoiled. And just because they have stuff, that doesn't make them rich, either. Someone can have stuff from saving up / holding onto things / bargains / gifts, etc.

But, also, just exploiting / manipulating / mis-treating other people for their money is also not "exactly" kosher, either. (Not everything is exploiting / manipulating, of course.)

Also, some people seem to think that - if someone gives you money - then you're not "providing for / relying on yourself". When you have a job, and you're working for pay, then you're *RELYING* on your *EMPLOYER* for money. Even if you work independently / as an entertainer / online / at home / whatever, you're still *RELYING* on *WHEREVER / WHOEVER* the money is coming from.

Being poor doesn't mean that someone is a saint. Being wealthy doesn't mean that someone is a heathen.

Wanting to have money for good reasons can be a noble thing. Taking care of yourself, taking care of other people, providing, giving, sharing, helping.

It's not the sole important thing in life, but it can be a helpful thing.

And, of course, there are many other forms of abundance, too. Like being abundant in love and kindness and compassion ... as an example. :)

If you want something, then maybe stop "hating" the people that have it, because that's "kind of" hypocritical / "kind of" ironic.
