REDEFINING RICHES

It would be easier to take the definition of "riches" back to its philosophical ideal and origin than to try to redistribute such wealth as tangible property. In other words: Just by changing the definition of 'rich', from material possessions to immaterial accessions, like joy and contentment, or like 'love and happiness' --attitudinal and behavioral changes can be effected. Life, itself, is riches. Something that all persons that live already possess! This redefinition of wealth/riches frees man from the fear of want and from the delusion of riches. Such conceptional change can become perceptional then perceptible quickly. It will return "wealth" to the spiritual realm, its original and natural home, whence it was born, and from whence it was enslaved to the hard rock of materialism, by quiescent sufferance in time. It would also be safer to change the definition than to redistribute wealth, because those who have wealth are likely to resist property redistribution violently! However, with the definition of wealth or riches being changed they will give away, nonviolently, the old "riches" in order to acquire the much greater "new, true riches," thereby. So, this change will be much less costly in lives, money or property, and much more loving and long-lasting! This change will enable immediate societal gains and spiritual freedom. To quote Smokey Robinson, "it would be easier to take the wet from water or the dry from sand, than for anyone to try to separate us, stop us from holding hands; cause I love you. I love you from the bottom of my heart, and what love has joined together let nobody take it apart." No army, navy, air force or marines are required to effect this change. Its battlefield is in the hearts and minds of men and women worldwide. Its weapons are epistemology, sociology, theology, science, music, and art. Each of you is a soldier-teacher-practitioner-preacher-philosopher of it!
