]]> Comment on What Does It Mean To Be Rich? by kathytalkin http://universalblogger.wordpress.com/2007/05/03/what-does-it-mean-to-be-rich/#comment-5 kathytalkin Fri, 04 May 2007 14:27:28 +0000 http://universalblogger.wordpress.com/2007/05/03/what-does-it-mean-to-be-rich/#comment-5 I agree with part of your post, but disagree with the comment "What good is having all of the money in the world if you have no one to share it with?" There is ALWAYS many ways to share money - giving to people you love, charities, build a new orphanage etc etc etc. Money cannot buy a person happiness, but it can buy you FREEDOM and that can bring a LOT of happiness. (not going to a job you hate etc). A good person with tons of money can make a huge contribution to the world. I do agree that a person can be rich without money. Money just helps you spread the joy around a bit more. I'm new in the Blog business - my first post was "Is Desiring Massive Wealth Selfish"? Since I am really new, I'm not sure if you can link to it from this reply, but I suppose you probably can.

If thats the case then, oh well whats the problem, how else would it have been so popularized? The question of whether it is a religion is somewhat of a red herring I think. It would be specially troublesome if you are trying to fuse the Law of Attraction into Christianity for example. There are some similar points, but they are based on radically different philosophical structures on how the universe works. The better question to ask is "is it good science?" Also missing from your definition of religion is the division of reality into sacred and profane. Some things are holy and pure, some things are corrupt and impure. I think the Law of Attraction removes that division completely. It's a very innovative aspect of the philosophy.
