Stuff versus experiences

All of those possessions we spend a lifetime accumulating like ego trophies end up in charity shops, recycling centres or trashed.

Instead we could spend a lifetime accumulating experiences that stay in the hearts, minds and souls of all we share them with.

We aren’t here for stuff…we are here to experience.

A wealth of…

It’s strange that we only look at wealth, and conversely poverty, in terms of money.

Why do we never measure or chase a wealth of love, a wealth of kindness, a wealth of joy, a wealth of peace, a wealth of consciousness? If you had a wealth of those things, then there would be no need to measure ourselves against each other, we’d realise we are all the same no matter what.

Why do we not reach out to people suffering from a poverty of kindness, love, joy, peace and so on? Why do we not fill our schools with learning about real wealth, instead of preparing people to earn money?

Funny how human society measures itself. The fact that we need to compare at all is strange.
