Rich and richer

Rich and richer is the question

 

What do I mean?

 

You see people can either want to be rich and richer, in other words, if the motive is money as the wisest of men King Solomon said, if your motive is money you can never have enough of it, so you can never feel like you achieved your aim, hence you will be like the gerbil running indefinitely on his wheel in the direction of nowhere.

 

Or our goal is not to be rich, rather to have a richer life.

 

In other words, money like most things in this world is not good nor evil, it is our intention and actions of what we want and do with it that creates it as a force for either good or evil.

 

So the bottom line is this, a Jews (and all people) must have but one intention in life and that is to do goodness and kindness as per God’s request – one of the things God desires greatly is that we should give charity, and in order to give charity we need money, so hence we want not to be rich, rather richer!
