More than 50 years ago, my grandparents taught me that being healthy and rich is better that being sick and poor.

Much of those qualities (not that I know anything of how to become rich) should be related to understanding available information, so it boils down to have appropriate education available from qualified teachers to everyone.

What if things like health and wealth were the effects of certain states of consciousness? Those of us who have "gone through the program" have realized that it was our thinking that got us into trouble and that our lives improved dramatically when we learned to cognitively reframe our thoughts and actions. Ever since people like Emmet Fox, and Norman Vincent Peale revealed that we do have a great deal of influence over our lives, we have had to become more accountable for our own life conditions.

Peace

I can see the point of the contention, but it isn't always valid. When my father passed away a year and a half ago, it was after a great deal of pain...about a years' worth, and there was nothing that medical science could do to help him. Yet he had a net worth of about $500,000, not counting his home and two other pieces of property, not either of his vehicles. He was also making about $50,000 a year in full government retirement. I don't know if he would have been in more pain had he been poor, but being wealthy didn't particularly help him in that regard.
