Have you ever wondered?



          Have you ever wondered why some people have it a lot easier than others?  The rich people who can get whatever they want.  The ones who can can get away with doing bad things and just get a minor slap on the wrist because of who their family is or the lawyer that they employ.  Well most of the time (not always) those are the people that are least happy with their lives.  You would be surprised at how much they can hate their lives because they don't have to earn anything.  Everything is handed to them and they never have to break a sweat.  Some of us that have difficult lives (me included) that have to work their butts off in order to just survive and support their family have it the best.  At times things might be really tough, even to the point that you just want to give up.  But that is what can make us so much stronger.  The fact that people want to get somewhere, that motivation, the passion, the strive to get better for their family is what can really make a person humble.


          Lets take a look at how it is for the families that are wealthy and how it is for them.  Now I have never been wealthy and hope to be one day but I will just give my opinion on what I think it is like.  I'm sure it is very wonderful to have a ton of money and to be able to have nice things.  They can take wonderful trips to places all over the world but they suffer on other aspects of life.  Most of the time the mother or father or both work all the time and miss out on family time.  The kids end up being raised by a nanny or a housekeeper.  It can be a big distress on the kids if they don't get the right amount of attention from their parents.  I believe it can put kids on a downward spiral from the get go and make them lost.  That is why a lot of times the wealthy kids get involved with drugs or bad people just looking for acceptance or maybe even trying to get noticed by their parents.  That isn't always the case though, sometimes only one parent works and the other stays home with the kids.  Sometimes I think it can also be a problem with the high expectancy of these type of kids as well.  If the parents are very successful people then they expect their kids to be the same and usually stay in the same field of work even if its not what they want to do.  Go to the same school they did, take over the family business, basically live in their shadow and not make a name for themselves.  There is always the case where they grow up to be successful and not have any of these issues it is definitely different for everyone.


        Looking at how the majority of america lives is towards the middle class of living.  This is definitely not a bad thing.  It usually includes struggles, sacrifice, stress, hard work and many other things.  The best thing that usually comes out of this lifestyle is that families have to stay close together.  They have to help each other to make things work within the household.  Not as much stress about everything that cant be controlled e.g. big jobs from work, whats the next promotion, taking work home. Now I know that this isn't 100% true about everyone in middle class, not one is the same for everyone.  I guess what I'm saying is that I think that people that have to go through a struggle together are more likely to be appreciative for the life that they have and the things that they earned for themselves and their family.  I know from personal experience that I am extremely happy with what I have and its really not much but I have my wife and daughter and that means everything to me.  I think that if everyone just had love for themselves and everyone in their lives then the world would be a much more peaceful place to live.  Be true to yourself and be true to everyone in your life, be positive ALL the time and if there is anyone that is negative and wont ever stop being that way try to help them but in the end if they don't want to help them self then you will need to get them out of your life for them to find them self and find happiness then they can come back in your life. If you keep the negativity out of your life, you will live a much more happier life.
