I have been thinking this afternoon, as I most often do, about economics; the acquisition and management of wealth. More specifically, I've been thinking about the statement that some people go from nothing to everything. I think that this statement is incorrect and foolish. Logically, all men, wealthy or not, start from nothing. All men must work to gain what they have or end up with. The question that the statement truly speaks to is that of the degree of work which all men must put into the world and the amount which they receive out of it. Some men, it is unfortunate to say, do not have a great ratio to contend with as they work for their fortune. not as much work, and more reward. Other men, and in my mind, the more important of them, must sacrifice everything, be willing to put it all down on the line, every last bastion of comfort and familiarity in the heart in order to do what is necessary. The author referred to this powerful motivating force in relation to family as sex transmutation.
There's so much more that I could talk about, but this is the improper medium for it, too slow, and my skills at talking are lacking, I could not communicate my understanding even if I wanted to. So I shall end my rambling post with encouragement for the people who do see this, That they might work ever harder, learn to work smarter, that they might gain the wisdom to use wealth, and therefor, the ticket to obtain it.
