A wise African minister recently told me that “God did not create anyone to be poor”. It stands to reason that God did not create anyone to be rich either. In fact, I would go so far as to say that God did not create anyone to HAVE anything at all … God rather created us to BE something.

Why then are we so driven by our desire to possess, so defined by our possessions?

He who dies with the most toys wins!

Money cannot buy happiness, but it sure can come close!

I was not aware consuming THAT product or driving THAT car would make so happy, popular and successful… or even that those particular words needed to be defined in such a way. How glad I am to be so well educated so ironically self-labeled as “independent and free”
