Title: Rich and the guilt of Indiffernce Post by: spndr7 on March 01, 2013, 04:31:54 PM Hating rich is the biggest road block in becoming rich and leading a prosperous life.This theory has been in wide circulation recently.The rich world seems so ignorant about the parallel world of people who were less fortunate in opportunities,and those who do not have ancestral fortunes.This parallel world is ignored in such a blatant manner that,it seems that this side of world don't even exists.
It may seem very practical to be selfish, in this seemingly selfish world,but this practicality is making us,in a way 'passively sadistic' .We are unable to feel the pain of people,who are suffering right beneath and beside us. The culture of ignorance teaches us to heartlessly engage in our work and pursuit to become wealthier,ignoring our disadvantaged brothers and sisters.This angst is not for redistribution of wealth,but its for the creating equal opportunities for the less privileged.Innovations should always be encouraged,this doesn't stop us for creating opportunities for everyone to be innovator. Keeping people deprived of opportunities may seem very harmless to the imperialist thinking,but deep within,its enough to cause turmoil and pierce through the impenetrable cloak of ignorance of the unjust richness.The unfortunate thing happening now is promotion of this unjust ignorance as a quick ladder to become rich.

Title: Re: Rich and the guilt of Indiffernce Post by: spndr7 on March 02, 2013, 03:13:53 AM We need to say no to this culture of ignorance.Instead of exploiting the natural resources of poor countries,the world needs to promote sustainable economies, that make the natives self sufficient.Industrialization had legitimized a very wrong concept for rapid growth,that,people can be divided into owners and workers, and this organisation of labour is the best.This model of development will only create greed,jealousy and more violence as already the world saw from the beginning of industrial revolution till now.My suggestions are decentralization of manufacturing and services.
High economic and technological growth rate cannot justify inequality,violence and a atmosphere of fear as the natural forces of "survival of the fittest" kicks into everyone. I haven't done anything yet except promoting some awareness. What is the answer to the biggest question of humanity: Should we accept natural selection and keep exploiting as much as we can, or trust our moral sense (which natural selection have given to us) and try restoring equity among people ? Title: Re: Rich and the guilt of Indiffernce Post by: MonadTran on March 04, 2013, 05:29:58 AM If you haven't done anything yet, how can you expect anything from others? We need a plan, and we need that you follow that plan, since you proclaimed yourself as a leader.
The other thing is, prosperity and equality are two different things. I don't need equality if it damages my prosperity. I suspect, many poorer people are not that much interested in equality either, but rather, they are interested in increasing their prosperity.

Title: Re: Rich and the guilt of Indiffernce Post by: spndr7 on March 06, 2013, 02:52:10 AM Just a rant on commonly observed behavior and attitude of people.
