Do We Have to Get Rich?

Sept 1, 2007
We should get RICH Boxing - Pacqiuao

I don’t know how the dictionary defines the word. But for most of us, this is something relative. Meaning, when one has more compared to others, he is rich. Can I use the analogy of the pie?

Now imagine the pie as wealth. And we all have to share it. If one gets much much more than the others (say 5 slices out of 10, and he isn’t sharing anything) and five more people would have to share the rest (maybe one would end up with nothing), then the problem begins. This is the unequal distribution of wealth.

Now, what’s the reason why one would end up with a lot? For most of us, we'd think we've been cheated on. But maybe it just so happened that he’s got the more appetite, or means. It’s true that supposedly, we should get an equal share, a pie for each person,but then again, this is the problem with democracy, freedom gets abused. And more importantly, I’m sorry to say, this is but man's natural tendency. And only a few can resist. Personally, it’s difficult to change reality. Ok, I know, it begins by a change in one’s self, but the above isn’t something that can be done overnight. I don’t have a lifetime.

If you (good-hearted people) can take more pie to give to those who doesn’t have the means, why not. Instead of greedy people getting their hands on them.

Or, if only we have the same appetite for wealth, it is likely that we’ll end up with an equal share.

Personally, I choose the second option. So, kainan na (lol)! Grin

P.S. nakaka-addict pala dito, I think, stop muna kasi di ako makapagtrabaho.Grin
