 Poor and rich or not so poor after all?

I've been in Kenya for a while now. I look around, as is my way, open my ears, see, hear some things, try to understand. What I have understood so far is what I have described before, namely that every Kenyan is poor. Well, I've learned that's not the case. All the wailers are richer than me. am i poor Well, let me put it this way, I'm on the lower end of the income bracket, a little less would mean, in the stats, I'd show up as poor. Do not despise me, for I am not poor, poor are only those who desire many things. Another thing I found out is that the poor don't whine like the pseudo-rich do. A poor person can have a happy life because he has only one concern, the next meal. The rich have much bigger worries when he lies down to sleep he fears that he will wake up the next morning, since he doesn't know whether his fortune is still there. Another concern is how can the rich increase their wealth? Who cheats him as he cheats? The rich know that they can only get rich through cheating, nobody has ever gotten rich through work. It is a shame that the poor suffer under a legal system where influence, wealth and bribery often count for more than the truth. Jolie Foster put it this way: "Criticizing the rich has nothing to do with envy. It is self-defense. Hoarding wealth is the cause of poverty. The rich are not only indifferent to poverty, they create it and perpetuate it ." The Bible says it's more like an elephant going through the eye of a needle than a rich man going to heaven. Aristotle wrote: "Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime."

That for the introduction. There is also a happy life, whether rich or poor.

Here's a guide to happiness.

1. See the wonder in all things.

Why does a man have one more gene than a horse? So he doesn't drink out of the bucket while washing the car. And that really is a miracle!

A greater miracle is the miracle of love. Love without ifs and buts. Can love exist under such conditions? She can, but is more inhuman. Love is limited, there is no way around it. Love has forms. Love, like us, can only exist under certain conditions. Love always knows and speaks only of us. Of our neediness, fallibility and our finiteness. I, personally, need air to breathe and my love nonviolence. I need food and drink, so my love has been based on goodwill and appreciation. Otherwise it would expire.

Be open to things. Whatever comes your way, take it, whatever it is, there's little better to come.

2. Keep your enthusiasm.

In order to get ahead in life, it is necessary to do what makes you happy. Not everyone is successful, they aren't, so you shouldn't lose heart, the main thing is that it was fun. Mao Tse Tung said it like this: "The way is the goal."

On the other hand, I can't help but grow old. But I can make sure I have fun doing it. That's it! When I'm 80, I don't want people to say, "What a nice old man" ... I want them to say, "Omg, what the heck is he up to now?"

3. Help others

Don't compare yourself to others, that's not right. Man is unique and there is only one specimen on this earth. Reach out your hand to people, help where you can. We all need support no matter who we are.

In Manchester people there is just nothing positive, nothing good anymore. The question is how did they lose it, what happened? Nobody is born like that.

Smile and be friendly.

4. Do things you are good at

"The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away," wrote Pablo Picasso. And Pablo did what he's good at: he painted. "Guernica", his famous picture. We don't want to and can't orient ourselves to Picasso. Let's keep our feet on the ground. When is a man the smartest? During sex, because then it is connected to the central computer.

5. Read books

Those who read books usually know better. Warriors are not always the ones who always win, but the ones who always fight. Those who read books have a greater chance of winning.

In other words, if you read, you might understand the following. We make the pizza round, stick it, join a square box, and eat it into triangles. Who understands this, understands life!

6. Limit the TV

The TV fee is a fee like for the garbage dump clock. The difference is that the garbage collector takes the garbage away.

Aristotle said: "Be a free thinker and don't accept everything you hear as truth. Be critical and evaluate what you believe in." And that's only possible without television.

7. Love your work

If you do a job you don't love, you do it badly because you don't enjoy it. Don't waste your life on something you don't want. "We have two lives, and the second starts, when we realize that we have only one," says Confucius. Life is so short that we have to decide what we want to do with our lives.

8. Gymnastics

Man makes even the desert bloom. The only desert that still gives him resistance is in his head. The brain needs a good blood supply to be able to think properly, so gymnastics is very important. We make decisions, which require reason and consideration.

If you are older than those around you. Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many.

9. Face your fears

You always want to own something you don't have. Here's an example: In the middle of the ocean. You on a small island, another in a rowboat. The one in the rowing boat shouts happily: "Land!" You, on the island, exclaim: "A boat!"

Both only want one thing: to be saved. He who is on the island needs a boat to get away, he who is in the boat wants the land.

People could learn from their mistakes if they weren't so busy denying them. (Carl Gustav Jung)

Don't forget one thing: Freedom is beeing you, without anyone's permission.

10. Believe in yourself

Be content with what you have. Appreciate the little things too. But above all, you've achieved something that you did on your own. Nobody can dispute it with you.

No one is responsible for your happiness but yourself. Keep going, undeterred and straight ahead.

11. Seek closeness to friends and family

"Your whole life you will be faced with the choice, love or hate. Decide for love," said Johnny Cash and I can only agree.

The love that a person needs, that he needs to be able to lead a carefree life, he gets from family and sincere friends.

Make peace with your past. You can't change it, look to the future, because there you have the opportunity to shape it the way you want it.

I, personally, would rather be hated for what I am than loved for what I am not.

Please do not forget: "The only constant in the universe is change," said Heraclitus of Ephesus. We change, every day. We are getting older and hopefully a little wiser, which is not always to be assumed.

12. Let your heart be your compass

Tell your wife, "Honey, I'll make you the happiest woman in the whole world!"

And hope that she doesn't answer with a full sentence: "I will miss you."

It doesn't matter what others think of you. It's not important! What matters is how you feel. Follow your heart. Don't look to the right or to the left, the path of the heart is the right path, it will lead you to your goal.

To say it again: No one is perfect, not me, not you, not them. Relax, and be who you are.
