Who are the masses to the rich?

To the rich and wealthy the masses are little more than the means to larger profit margins. We are expected to make their products at the lowest cost to them but in turn we are expected to purchase the same products at a high rate of return for them.

I cannot fault them for wanting a good return on their investments. After all, that is business, but in today's world one has to be mindful of those around them.

The world is a much smaller space that it was 100 years ago. The resources are more limited and there is less open area, so contamination is more concentrated. One has to be aware of this and factor it into doing business.

Too many mega corporations wish to return to no regulations on what they can do with their waste because disposing of it in an environmentally friendly manner affects their bottom line and reduces the profit margin. Pollution in the water ways flows downstream so why worry? ..... the ocean is endless. What can it mean in the long run if it doesn’t affect their end of the business chain?

It all comes down to greed ..... the addiction of making more and more money. That is what it has become. Money is the only measure of success for the wealthy and that is a power trip for them. They will do whatever is necessary is add to their power, even though that money will not give them a better spot in the hereafter they have to create more of it.

It doesn’t matter that it can’t improve their lives here. They consider it a measure of greatness while they are alive. How sad their lives are focused on something as meaningless and unsatisfying as monetary gains?

These types of people must really laugh at those who devote their lives to bettering the lot of those who suffer from economic hardship. All the while many of the wealthy are hording every cent they can in order to achieve power and greatness while alive.

They don’t realize that power is gone once they die, and that their memories will fade faster than their bodies return to dust. Being rich doesn’t make one right.

Improving another's life is never left unrewarded, whether it is for someone who works for you or for a stranger who is lost on the path of life. Greed goes unnoticed, but generosity always has its rewards ....... maybe not the kind you can hold in your hands, but the ones you can feel deep within.
