Thinking Rich

Government effects us, each and every. This we each know. However, American government effects us more than most really notice, accustomed so with the benefits of life rich. Perhaps not the best life can ever be is present American life, for also is the morrow of new ideas and discoveries, but American life is rich none the less.

Living rich is really an experience, and is much more than spending money. Is not about money. Though, as life now is on earth, than only in America, our everyday experiences of choice are ruled by money.

Truly money rich, money is like a tool, a special tool, for living your life as you want decisionally so. And, one money rich has more freedom, compared those not. Much more freedom really. However, compared several other nations, the average American citizen experiences a life truly rich. However, because of media continually attempting to persuade buying, all we each have likens never enough, or perhaps not quite the wantable best, and most Americans do not recognize themselves rich. More is persuaded the life, the rich life, the better life, than the appreciation and enjoyment of what we already have.

The time for appreciating what we each have, usefully have, is shortened by the ways of media advertising purposed for us to buy "a better product", "an improved version" of product, a latest design of product. And especially a new product. Has been said the "human race", satisfaction havable not until all the earth is inhabited. And which people which race to inhabit first for inhabiting last? Ruling last? The earth so large. Though now likens the "business race", but satisfiable are not the sums of profits. The consumers so many, the earth so large. We buy, but of such persuasion, likens we are yet not alive enough, we are yet not feeling satisfied with ourselves enough, unless we buy again, and again, and again...    Often, it is not the possession, it is our feeling of self worth, motivating us so to buy, and to buy again, and again, and again...    Though, especially by divine view, we each already are equally a human being. Validly, a human being too.

Having possessions useful is not a sin. However, the having of possessions can be losting from life, can be against ourselves. Especially by identifying with possessions, the physical else so, as definitional our self worth as a human being. This as has been religiously messaged to ourselves centuries, and is not new because of America of course. Some can have an excellent life, and divinely so, who are money rich and thus possessions easily their having. While others cannot, and become lost from life so.

There was a time in my life that I was laid off. Fortunately, my dwelling was paid for. And my vehicle was paid for. My unemployment compensation surprisingly so easily paid for my utilities, my food, gasoline, and also some extras. Clothing, I already had. During those days, I recognized the fact that I was ever so fortunate, and really living rich. However, if I mentioned this to most anyone, well their thinking about me would have been risked. But I knew, my life then quite enjoyable.

Aware of history and how others lived centuries ago, it is easier to recognize the life oneself as rich. The life experienced by oneself as rich. And this an everyday experience. This is especially true if gainfully employed, and money smart simply so. One need not have a college degree to manage their budget. It’s simply basic math.

Than become involved with thankfulness, living in this time of humanity, lets see what we have. Lets really see what we have. And who we are...

Electrical power readily available, coast to coast, and the availability of this not needing be by ourselves, but already done by others. And maintained by others. Much the like, we have servants. We would not need pay servants, or those who’s duty of employ is to serve us, if we were money rich? Certainly, we would. And we do, by the form of payment taxation. Such an affordance, our daily ableness.

There is also running water, readily available by the tap. And showers have become ever so common in availability. A true expectation is running water, such a provision, by those who serve us. And in America, not truly our servants f course, but by those those who serve us, effectively by their jobs of employment.

Central air conditioning and heating. Quite common in America, by the rich. And comfort is so important. Don’t you agree?

And of course is our mobility. Such a variety of availability is. Though, I most often prefer my car. Of course, the comfort of air conditioning and heat is also in my car, but I especially enjoy my electric windows and my selection of either radio or CD. Other conveniences are, as I take for granted in my modern car. As are granted, of course. Also the rear window defroster is quite nice sometimes. Quite the innovation. But I am a rich man, much like you, you know. Much of this is simply granted, of choice included, by the life I have.

I especially appreciate the roadways, although admittedly I rarely think much about them, as I go here and there in my car. Smooth and clutter free. The traffic lights working. The driving lanes clearly and simply marked. Those who serve me do a fine job, as I of course would have it. And I also appreciate others in their vehicles respectful my presence on the road. This also as I would have it.

Sometimes, I think about government. And the purpose of those in government management. And they in government, who serve me of course, mostly do a fine job assuring others respect my presence on the road. Rich as I am, admittedly, I am fortunate to have such fine public servants loyal so with their duty of job. From those who manage to those who police my roadways. By my payments of taxation, certainly also my roadways. The rich should be aware of their due, don't you think?

Sometimes in a local grocery store, ever so convenient for me of course, I feel badly because many of the shelved items I simply do not want. I have not yet found myself in the mood for. But, week after week, month after month, and year after year, there the food items are readily on the shelf for me. To choose if I want, to not choose if I don’t want.  And rarely do any of those serving me there, attempt to entice me to put something different in my basket, respecting me so. To select something different, compared to my long enjoyed habits of dining.

Sometimes, I am across town, and it would be ever so convenient for me to shop for groceries then. There and then. Well, of course, there is a grocery store there too for me. Readily available, of course. As a rich man would expect from those who serve him well. Sometimes, likens I am a king, and such a rich king, convenience in abundance for me. But of course I am not a king. I am merely a citizen, an American citizen, accustomed so with my rich life. And rich so, long accustomed such a splendid everyday experience, I do not think of myself as rich, nor privileged compared others in the world, but as simply myself. This, life as I am, life as I live.

Recently, I decided to have a special tripod for my digital camera. My digital camera, also video capable, is one of my favorite possessions. The ten mega pixels, and certainly I could not live with less, makes for excellent pictures.    ...Well, about the tripod. Sometimes, I am ever so particular, I admit. It was not as expected, and I was disappointed so. My disappointment certainly was not the fault of the service person, who directed me in the store, but I simply could not keep it. So, I took the tripod back, needing explain my thinking. In brevity, of course. And my money was graciously returned to me. Though, seemed a disservice of me, the one serving me then ever so understanding and polite, to accept the return of my money. Though, a rich man needs be money smart, to maintain himself rich with selections in life, even when it hurts.

And of course, I have a computer in my home, and ready access to the internet. The world wide internet, than only usage in America of course. As I would have it. A source of information literally at my fingertips, and twenty-four hours a day. And the volume of information is greater, than the libraries of past, though such an impressively large volume of books. However, this was unimaginable only fifty years ago. Not even imaginable. My appreciation to those who serve me, abling my use of such a tool, such an instrument, allowing my written voice available internationally in seconds. In seconds. Though, I must pay those who serve me, this service is one of those well worth it. And I am able, of course. I am a rich man. I am an American, you know.

A couple of nights ago, I went dancing with several of my friends of years. We had not a get together in quite some time. After the evening of ballroom, a kind of dancing we each have years enjoyed, we went to a pub, an Irish pub. Admittedly a pub is not what I am accustomed to, but we had such an enjoyable time visiting with each other in such a relaxed atmosphere. We were dressed nicely but not formally, of course. As you can imagine, having chosen of group a pub for ending our evening. But I was with the group, and of course my life as is such a rich experience is certainly not because of only my thinking nor presence, nor my possessions, but also because of others. Especially because of others, really. And especially because of others, I am fond of so. We had an exceptionally good time. An ordinary time, I suppose, but also a truly special time as we reminisced.

Sometimes, I am made aware of others, their lives not nearly as enjoyable. Their daily worry for food, their clothing not a variety, their dwelling shabby and drafty, their health not possibly a concern to attend to. In America, but especially in other parts of the world. And I am reminded about my everyday experience, my own life experiences in America. Fortunate so, I see myself, everyday one of those ever so rich. Ever so life experiencively rich.

Well, totally comprehensive, certainly you did not expect of this writing. Certainly, I can elaborate more about my life, such a rich life. And our lives. But my cell phone has finished charging by now. You know how busy a rich man sometimes is. Though, it has been such a pleasure sharing some of my thoughts with you. Perhaps we will meet sometime, and become acquaintances. Living in America, totally predictable are not our fortunate morrows, believing in ourselves so, and of course respecting those who serve us.

Believing in ourselves so? Well, certainly. For we each are a being, bodily a being, this in the Being GOD’s image of course. And this is something special. Accustomed with being so, we often think of this as ordinary, while this is something special granted us each. And because of each ourselves a being, than as an animal kind, such a life ourselves the having. Able are ourselves so. And aware so are ourselves of our ableness. And of our havings. And of our enjoyments. Especially the specifics of our ableness, our havings and our enjoyments.

Such an advantage is, and richly so in time, oneself a being. A being too.

I have enjoyed my thoughts in such wonderment sometimes. Such a richly resourceful Being, and such an intelligent Being, needed be. For earth and also universe, such a reality this Created.

Certainly, for us to compatibly be for belonging in Heaven, there each ourselves fitting, we need be accustomed with life rich, life experiencively rich everyday. And this compatibly so among ourselves, among others.

Are we able, each ourselves, to enjoy life rich and not become self centered so about ourselves? Ourselves, aware others still? Ourselves, respectful others still? Certainly this is the expectation ourselves in Heaven, for there fitting in. For there ourselves a belonging true, and worthy entrance.

May GOD bless all, who think rich. And this not about money, but about life an experience, an everyday experience, for dependable so. For we each serve each other, as is evident by our respectful behavior among others, than only by our jobs as are participatory in nation, in civility as is American. All jobs are contributive to what America is.

Pragmatic so, my thinking, living in this time America. Though centuries ago, many tried so much for having such a glimpse, a glimpse if only this, such a glimpse as is now ours for the having, life likening as is in Heaven. While, though can sometimes seems untrue, our lives recognizably rich so, by our thinking knowingly rich so, such a long distance from life on earth as is in heaven, we are. We experiencively are.

Because of those belonging there, life in Heaven is such a paradise. This than only because of the physical there, as there is the physical. The physical likening here, but not the same as here of course.

Perhaps the poor will always be with us, those poor minded, those poor thinking and unable to see, while ourselves on earth. Their thinking different. Or, perhaps in time, we can do something about this, aware as we are. Aware of life so, as we are.

May GOD bless all their seeing, the poor minded. For their eyes filled with life so, with life their own. As is the truth because of others, than only because of each themselves.

Those who are rich and also aware of life so, they are likely to complain, to complain when they should. To be more demanding to those in government, who are seated for to serve them. They know to say. They know to ask. They have expectations.

Good can be the influence, our thinking rich. Appropriately so, with the real and the pragmatic, our thinking rich.

Each American citizen, born a citizen, has entitlements as a citizen by birth. These entitlements include rights of law, bestowed equally each citizen constitutionally of course. However, these entitlements also include the conveniences and the enjoyments of the amenities publicly available, as services of government than only commercially. Each these entitlements contribute to life experiencively rich. Quite likely some, you have been thinking rich all the while.

Yes, quite likely some, you have been thinking rich all the while. As those having founded America intended. And as GOD having intended before them, for those all the world, all the while.

Also love is not a rich experience, as influences powerfully so? And attractively so?

Those the poor. Certainly we can do something about this, more and more, for poor becoming a word inevitably behind us. On earth, as is in Heaven, inevitably behind us.
