Not About Prosperity or Poverty

# Productivity It's not about poverty or prosperity, allegedly; because it is about productivity, responsibility, and integrity. In other words, what really matters is doing the best you can with what you got. # Competition You should [compete.](https://steemit.com/money/@jwyles/a-short-history-of-how-even-smart-people-lose-money-investing) You should fight hard for what you believe in. You should try to help other people as well. You should try your best not to violate the private property rights of people around you. # Responsibility Fundamentally, you should be responsible for what you do have regardless of how much or how little you may or may not have. People can define prosperity and poverty differently. # Drawing The Line There are different definitions out there for these [terms.](https://steemit.com/nigeria/@princeso/how-much-is-your-worth-the-love-of-money) The line between the two can blur at times. Prosperity can be like art. We know that art and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. # Basic Needs Having your basic [needs](https://steemit.com/love/@wilhelmsworld/for-the-love-of-money-i-have-had-enough-how-my-father-introduced-me-to-the-dollar) provided is a version of prosperity. Also, having the ability to pass on your inheritance and abundance to family, friends, and community, is prosperity. # Being Fruitful It is fruitful to be prosperous. Specifically, in the story of your life, it is tough to say how the details will all play out. Having more money is not necessarily bad. # To Have or Not To Have Having less money is not necessarily bad either. However, both can be bad. But why? Not because either is bad in and of itself. Like I said, it's not about poverty or prosperity to the extent that these terms are defined by imperfect humans who don't know everything, because the meaning of life is developed in freewill, in love. What is love? God is love. God did not make us as robots. [](https://steemit.com/money/@peterecheng/the-love-of-money-is-the-beginning-of-a-great-fall) # To Be or Not To Be God made us as human beings. So, it is not about having. It is about being. It is about making freewill choices with what we have. # The Story Arch It is about our character development. So, it is about being productive, faithful, reliable, useful, etc. Now, as we do those things, we may be blessed with prosperity and poverty. # Defining Terms Again, it [depends](https://steemit.com/money/@cathvanlael/money-is-devil) on how [you](https://steemit.com/christian/@bickler33/for-the-love-of-money-fame-status-and-gain) define those two things. [](https://steemit.com/life/@earthcustodians/the-love-of-money-paradox-usd20-billion-spent-on-valentine-s-day-the-story-behind-valentine-s-day-is-more-brutal-than-romantic) # Minimalism Poverty can be minimalism. # Starvation Poverty can also be starvation. It really depends on what kind of poverty we are talking about. # Good or Bad It can be good. It can be bad. If [we](https://steemit.com/life/@alok1/is-the-love-of-money-or-the-love-of-power-the-root-of-all-evil) are talking about a good [kind](https://steemit.com/steemchurch/@daniho/the-love-of-money-is-the-root-of-all-evil) of poverty, then that is good. If we are talking about a bad kind of poverty, then that is devastating. # The Journey of Life Life is a process. Life is a journey. Life is a road with forks and turns. The road can go up into prosperity and down the hill into poverty at different times. # Pirates of the Care-Oh-Bein' You can stay the course like a captain of a ship. You can be responsible for your boat in the mist of the calm and during storms. It is about getting there. In life, you are going somewhere. # Helping Others If you are very rich, you can use that to help other people. # 1984 Tyranny Ultimately, you should not be forced to help people. You should choose to help. You should want to help other people. How you go about helping other people is a matter of debate. People should not manipulate you to only help people their way. # Teaching People to Fish Also, when you help people, it can be like feeding them fish which might feed them for maybe one hour or one day. But it can also be better to teach them how to fish as that can be a way of feeding them for their entire lives. # Training Workers Employers can hire the homeless and train them into being fishers. So, they fish and you pay them money. That's good. So, you have a lot of money. That's good. # Delegation But then you delegate tasks to the employees. They work hard. # Distribution You distribute the money to them. # Expensive So, you may have more money and yet you may also spend more money as well to maintain everything. You also may take bigger risks as a big boss of factories for example. # Evil Taxes Employers should pay less taxes. Actually, there should be no taxes at all. But employers need more money as it costs more money to take care of all the equipment and everything in factories for example. # Free Like Birds Also, if you are poor, you may have less responsibilities in some ways (less burdens, perhaps). # Different Opportunities You may have opportunities to help guide people more than some employers can as you may have the time. Some employers can become too busy managing everything. # Variety of Blessings So, it [can be](https://steemit.com/steemchurch/@odsam2/steemchurch-beware-the-love-of-money) a blessing to be poor in some [ways.](https://steemit.com/steemchurch/@henryyeboah/the-love-of-money-1) So, whether you are or are not like too poor or rich depends on many different things. It might be a debate, a question, you know, in regards to [whether](https://steemit.com/christ/@caninetrackers/about-the-love-of-money) or [not](https://steemit.com/life/@philiyce/why-is-the-love-of-money-the-root-of-all-kinds-of-evil) you [are](https://steemit.com/money/@hogie/for-the-love-of-money) too poor or too rich. In some ways, you might be too poor and rich at the same time. # The Puzzle of Life [See,](https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@darkflame/the-love-of-money-is-the-root-of-all-evil) this is complex and that is why it is not about poverty or prosperity. That is not to say that it is not about prosperity or poverty. Objectively speaking, ultimately speaking, [outside](https://steemit.com/religion/@o1o1o1o/alt-jesus) of time and space, within the realm of eternity, it might be about prosperity, AKA [value,](https://steemit.com/money/@bollutech/love-of-money-the-root-of-all-evil-or-the-lack-of-it) worth, meaning, purpose, in life. # The Love of Life That is what life is. Life is love and love is God. I'm not saying that there is no God. # The Source of Meaning I'm saying everything that we know about love and life and joy and everything else derives from God. # Fighting Rothschild Also, [prosperity](https://steemit.com/blog/@theinformant/top-10-richest-pastors-in-the-world-2018-07e376d2aef56) does not always have to be defined by Rothschild money. See, centralized fiat money is manipulated at times. That's a problem. So, we can see hyper inflation. # China Tyranny That might be happening right now in China in 2019, this year. # Money Regulation Money currencies can be regulated [by](https://spirituality4now.blogspot.com/2010/09/how-to-create-prosperity-in-your.html) world banks, governments, corporations, organizations, groups, secret societies, the Rothschild mafia family, other families, through technocracy (tech cartels) like the Facebook Fake Coin Libra, etc, etc. # Learning To Be Content Be happy with all that you do have and all that you don't have. [Let go](https://steemit.com/humor/@johnnyrobish/trump-spiritual-adviser-casts-out-demons-during-white-house-ceremony) of whatever you don't want or don't need. Go after more stuff if you want, maybe. # Investments You can [try](https://www.monitor.co.ug/OpEd/Commentary/Why-our-poverty-eradication-programmes-do-not-work/689364-3463750-130qx56/monitor.co.ug) to invest in gold, silver, natural resources, land, houses, filtered water, guns, private property, canned foods, [Faraday Cages,](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage) cryptocurrencies (real money), fake money, etc, etc, in order to provide for family, friends, [etc.](https://www.jayajayamyra.com/jaya-jaya-myra-blog/2018/1/20/signs-of-inner-prosperity-vs-inner-poverty) Beyond that, invest in people. It's not about poverty or prosperity. # All About People It is about people. Prosperity and poverty can both be like vehicles which can help us at times.
