Richness
People have different definitions and understandings about richness. The meaning of richness differs in time to time, person to person and generation to generation. In different stages of human evolution, the criteria used to measure richness have been changed. In the early stages of evolution people use human strength, production capacity, possession of tools, gold, silver, natural resources as major components of richness. In the modern society richness is measured in terms of money, wealth, political power, human knowledge etc.
Unfortunately, all these measures have given monetary or material value to richness and consider richness is same as wealth. In my opinion, this is the worst mistake people have ever done. There is a huge difference between richness and wealth. Because of lack of understanding about the real meaning of richness and wealth peoples’ lives have become miserable and frustrated today.
Wealth is money or other material resources. If a person has abundance of valuable resources like money, property, possessions etc. he or she is rich. However, the value of these material possessions may increase or decrease or lose all of them. On the other hand, people can use this wealth to harm other people, communities, or countries because wealth always gives more power to people. We have real examples of modern world how wealthy nations kill human lives or destroy countries in less than a second by military operations.
However, in my opinion, richness is far more than just possession of money or resources. Being rich has nothing to do with possessions, it is a positive attitude. Being rich is all about how a person feels about the world and about himself or herself. In my opinion, if a person has a positive, caring, friendly, loving, kind attitude about the world, human and other living beings of the world he or she is a rich person. As richness is an attitude of a person about the world and it is a state of mind, no one can make someone
