yea ill try to
How can you define WEALTH?
-
@Ella-26 hmmm that makes sense, however, have you ever thought that value could also be seen as wealth?
-
@xoyee I am not sure what you mean by Value. Do you mean "importance" or like "measurable worth"?
-
@Ella-26 OK what i mean is, " your worth", " your values"...
-
@xoyee feeling content/detached no matter what's happening around you or to you
-
@Huh ok.... So I'm guessing you mean, reaching that level of life where nothing affects you because you got all you ever want or need?
-
@xoyee I suppose so. But the word "wealth" is closely associated with prosperity, or abundance. It's kinda difficult to regard any person to have an "abundance" of values. I mean, how will that be measured?
-
@xoyee sort of, but more like realizing you never needed anything
-
@Ella-26 you're smart and right,....so I guess that's the reason why a man with so much values without wealth cannot be called a "prosperous man", but on the other hand one could use his values to create wealth and then become prosperous.
-
@Huh cool
-
@xoyee I agree on the second one. And, I'd also like to emphasize that the concept of "wealth" per my understanding would refer to worldly material possessions.
-
@Ella-26 correct!
-
wealth is vanity!
-
@xoyee I guess you mean "principles" or "scrupulous attributes" when you say "value". Aren't you meaning that?
-
@xoyee I have seen a person with a lot of moral values in life who's basically poor in terms of material abundance or money. A closer look reveals that he's inherently lazy even if he has strong moral values otherwise. You cannot say that he's wealthy, can you? I think no one can have too much of "scrupulous attributes" because every human being will have a certain amount of shortcomings.
-
For every person, 'wealth' is something diffirent.
For me honestly now?
Money, would be all which I needed.
I got a daughter, I'm single, I don't need spiritual stuff in my life. And money would be my 'wealth'. With money, you can achevie a lot. You can buy a lot of thing, go diffirent places, travel around the world.
That's my opinion on 'wealth' -
My health is my wealth. My knowledge is my experience. My understanding is my identity.
Edited fanciful version: My health is my wealth, not bars of gold. My knowledge is my experiences, not read books nor listened lectures. My understanding is my identity, not some reshaped imitations.
-
Wealth is subjective satisfaction, therefore it changes for each of us. Money, knowledge, health, love and much more
-
@xoyee to many spiritual philosophers, wealth is a bright heart that doesn't worry about tomorrow and it is thankful for what he have today. Materialistic wealth is at least buying a thing twice = properly owning it.
