Money

Today we're all immersed in the quality of selfishness, seeking to benefit ourselves with no regard for others. As such we have differing expectations about money:

1. Those who have money, expect to keep it all to themselves, they don't want to share with others because they're thinking only about themselves.
2. Those who don't have money, expect other people to give it to them, they don't want to share with others, they're thinking only about themselves.

This results in social tension between the rich and the poor as the social gap between the rich and the poor widens.

If our internal qualities change from selfishness to bestowal, and we seek to benefit others instead of ourselves, our relationship with money will change:

1. Those who have money, will use it to benefit others instead of themselves
2. Those who don't have money will be taken care of by those who do

The gap between the rich and the poor will narrow, and social tension and unrest will disappear. Eventually, even money itself will disappear and we'll become connected in mutual concern and responsibility.

In everything we do, we should seek to benefit others instead of ourselves. God is with us and to Him we shall all return.
