It hasn’t changed because it’s such a strong system. I don’t necessarily see it changing either. Wealth and power go hand in hand, and they don’t typically shift in terms of who has it. As long as we have a society that wants to pool wealth, this will always be a concern. Not to say we should give away all our wealth, but I think it’s important to ask ourselves how do we circulate wealth or create shared wealth experiences.
Over 4th of July, I went to a friend’s house whose dad does a huge firework demonstration for the whole neighborhood on his own dime. Neighbors pulled up with lawn chairs, food, and family. I hope we move towards where we’re able to share our wealth with others a similar fashion more regularly. Therefore, we can all have a fulfilling life worth living.
Thank you for the good read!
