If “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you”
doesn’t speak to you, what about “noblesse oblige,” the almost forgotten
act of those who have, seeing to the welfare of those who have not. It’s
associated with the nobility, but at one time so was money. Today, those who
have the most money seem to be the least noble.
“I heard the news today…oh boy.”
It only gets grimmer, it seems. The incredible, the
obscene amounts of money a teeny percentage of the people of the world
have and control. Many of those same people living in fear they
won’t get more or will lose what they have…some are lying, cheating, stealing
to hold onto what they have AND get still more.
Clearly, the hard part for me is to sit not in judgment of
those rich folk, to waste not my hard-earned peace on righteous
indignation…which only leads to a feeling of moral superiority, the
camouflage of the dishonest wannabe. And it doesn't matter what it is I
wannabe…rich, so I can show “them” how they should act; Mother
Teresa-like, so people will see how poor, done right, is enviable…makes no
never mind, it is dishonest…which is of course what I’m looking down my nose at
in the first place, dishonest other people.
Peace, be still.
Peace, be still.
Thank You.
