Poverty, A State of Mind

I firmly believe that poverty is really a mental state, and not material. However, when there is poverty in mind, this also tends to manifest as material scarcity. Many people say that the rich should donate their money to the poor. The question really serious, why should they?

If you donate your money to those genuinely in need, for example, to help disabled, or sick and not having to pay their expenses, to help orphaned children, and so on. and this is something else, is an act of nobility. However, from there to deal the world's wealth among all, would do more harm than good, because poverty is a mindset, not lack of material things. I will explain the reasons behind this thesis:

1-You want the fruit which has not been sown: People almost always want the easy way. I was surprised to see a movie on a local channel, where 90% of ads were raffles, lotteries, raffles, etc.. It's the way that television us "brainwashed" to think that everything in life is a gift. Precisely the mentality that the rich give to the poor they just want to come the fruits of what has not been planted.

2-Giving creates parasites: When a child to solve everything at home, when it grows not do anything. The same would happen if the wealth were shared "equitably". The issue is not giving you a fish, but fishing ensañarte.

3-credit Worship: What can not be resolved by the sweat of the brow is to be solved with a credit card. Credit is not bad, but ignorance respect to the subject is fatal, and the true cause of economic crises, both personal and an entire state, which is wanting to spend more than you earn.

4-Do not want to think about: Television, newspaper and popular opinion think for most people. The most important seems to be doing what everyone does, regardless of all the world is heading toward an abyss. A million dollars in the hands of a person who can not think, is a nuclear weapon. Many examples have been lost lottery and inheritance in the hands of people who do not think.

Besides all the great entrepreneurs and capitalists who are so critical to get rich while others become poorer, the same ones responsible for making your life easier. If not for them, every time you wanted to eat you had to go to a field or a forest to hunt your food, and there were no supermarkets. Obviously you had to have a horse or go on foot because there would be no cars. And please do not get sick!, As the business of medicine is also in the hands of these people as "odious".

It's easier to complain and make excuses for not doing something. The moral of these lines is, do not expect that life will give away something, you go get him. Nor criticize or envy that you have what you want, be smart and that person learns best.
