Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief
Thursday 27 December 2007
     How does a person get that way?
     What are the influences that produce such a person?
     How can a person change from one classification to another?
     There are no simple answers, but there are answers.
     For example, a "Rich Man" can become rich a number of ways. For example, inheritance, lottery win, gift, marry a rich spouse, work, steal, etc.
     The "Poor Man" can be born into poverty. Or lack good role models of parents, teachers, etc. Or the result of prejudice in government that forms various classes of people.
     The "Beggar Man" can have mental issues, lack education, be an outcast, fall on hard times, be a victim of crime, be a victim of government, be a victim of unjust laws, etc.
     Sometimes the propaganda of advertising of alcohol and drugs can convince a person to risk being addicted to be successful. And such addiction can lead to crime, prison, poverty, etc. Shame on the advertisers!
     The "Thief" can be a thief by choice, or necessity to acquire the necessities of life. Such includes food, water, clothing, shelter, education, tools, etc.
     And regardless of the classifications... the laws of the land tends to keep the person in any of the classifications. That is, the rich and powerful have laws put into place that protect their wealth. And the rich feed on the less than rich in many ways.
      One Judge recently claimed that no one is above the law to justify her decision against the interests of a very wealthy man. Have you noticed that different judges make different decisions based on the same set of facts and evidence? Take the Supreme Court of Canada for instance when there is NOT agreement between those Judges in decisions. And lawyers often shop around for a Judge for their client. It is known that the personality of any given Judge can influence his/her decisions at trial. Fair? No. Real? Yes.
     Have you noticed that laws change like the wind?
     Those in government can use their power to help others who help those in power stay in power through the written law, and force of arms. For example the act of war results in the death and destruction of lives, and the acquiring of property of others. And the military and the police forces, etc. are used also. And there are acts of war in every day life of those who want more than their fair share.
     What are the solutions?
     The written law that applies can vary as little as being on one side of a street as versus the other side of the street. Jurisdiction applies, and "justice" varies upon the whim of those in power, including the decisions of Judges.  For example, one nation's laws verus other nation's law at the borders. One city versus another city. One neighbourhood versus another. The variation is a recipe for conflict.
     Among the rich and powerful are the bullies. They use threats in various forms to keep their wealth and power, and to gain more. One of their methods is through the force of law. Of course there are the bullies among the other classifications as well. And lets not forget those who are peaceful but also become victims because they have been taught that the law is just. That the law is just is a very big lie.
     Some claim if you have enough money and lawyers, you can get away with anything!
     Some have claimed you only get as much justice as you can afford.
     Some claim whatever rights you claim for yourself, they also claim. Of course those who have may not accept those ideas.
     When their is conflict, often there are third party victims. What are the solutions? Class actions? Revolution? Violence? Peaceful resistance? Changing of the laws? Redress?
     There is a real need for great wisdom to help solve the problems that result from conditions of wealth, poverty, crime, etc.
      There is a real need for mankind's children to be educated in basic human rights. And the will power to preserve life on the planet.
     We need the super intelligent compassionate children to help solve mankind's problems of disease, crime, and war. Those with intelligence and abilities and compassion above the genius levels.
     We need also the realization that the human mind with patience and dedication can learn proper techniques of prayer and meditation to reach to the greatest of all goodness for guidance in their daily lives. This is a means for the genius to come into realization. For me, prayer is when we touch to the mind of the GOD of all gods. And meditation is when we have learned to still our mind to be aware of GOD's communications to us via impressions and clear words telepathically.
