"Let's be honest: you'll never win the lottery.
On the other hand, the chances are pretty good that you'll slave away at some miserable job the rest of your life. That's because you were in all likelihood born into the wrong social class. Let's face it — you're a member of the working caste. Sorry!
As a result, you don't have the education, upbringing, connections, manners, appearance, and good taste to ever become one of us. In fact, you'd probably need a book the size of the yellow pages to list all the unfair advantages we have over you. That's why we're so relieved to know that you still continue to believe all those silly fairy tales about "justice" and "equal opportunity" in America.
Of course, in a hierarchical social system like ours, there's never been much room at the top to begin with. Besides, it's already occupied by us — and we like it up here so much that we intend to keep it that way. But at least there's usually someone lower in the social hierarchy you can feel superior to and kick in the teeth once in a while. Even a lowly dishwasher can easily find some poor slob further down in the pecking order to sneer and spit at. So be thankful for migrant workers, prostitutes, and homeless street people.
Always remember that if everyone like you were economically secure and socially privileged like us, there would be no one left to fill all those boring, dangerous, low-paid jobs in our economy. And no one to fight our wars for us, or blindly follow orders in our totalitarian corporate institutions. And certainly no one to meekly go to their grave without having lived a full and creative life. So please, keep up the good work!
You also probably don't have the same greedy, compulsive drive to possess wealth, power, and prestige that we have. And even though you may sincerely want to change the way you live, you're also afraid of the very change you desire, thus keeping you and others like you in a nervous state of limbo. So you go through life mechanically playing your assigned social role, terrified what others would think should you ever dare to "break out of the mold."
Naturally, we try to play you off against each other whenever it suits our purposes: high-waged workers against low-waged, unionized against non-unionized, Black against White, male against female, American workers against Japanese against Mexican against.... We continually push your wages down by invoking "foreign competition," "the law of supply and demand," "national security," or "the bloated federal deficit." We throw you on the unemployed scrap heap if you step out of line or jeopardize our profits. And to give you an occasional break from the monotony of our daily economic blackmail, we allow you to participate in our stage-managed electoral shell games, better known to you ordinary folks as "elections." Happily, you haven't a clue as to what's really happening — instead, you blame "Aliens," "Tree-hugging Environmentalists," "Niggers," "Jews," Welfare Queens," and countless others for your troubled situation.
We're also very pleased that many of you still embrace the "work ethic," even though most jobs in our economy degrade the environment, undermine your physical and emotional health, and basically suck your one and only life right out of you. We obviously don't know much about work, but we're sure glad you do!
Of course, life could be different. Society could be intelligently organized to meet the real needs of the general population. You and others like you could collectively fight to free yourselves from our domination. But you don't know that. In fact, you can't even imagine that another way of life is possible. And that's probably the greatest, most significant achievement of our system — robbing you of your imagination, your creativity, your ability to think and act for yourself.
So we'd truly like to thank you from the bottom of our heartless hearts. Your loyal sacrifice makes possible our corrupt luxury; your work makes our system work. Thanks so much for "knowing your place" — without even knowing it!"

I used to be like that, some culture or religion teachs you that to be poor is to be spiritual, once that i left those believes behind me, my life changed so much. All that you believe becames law in your life, then it is totally up to us what direction to take.
We are the creator of our reality.

The great problems of this world is the obsession with ego. Unfair ways and wars will never end until people let go of their ego and its many attributes such as nationality, succes, wealth,greed, power, control, career, reputation, role, race,gender, sex, religion, good looks etc.
A big part of the human world is not aware of it yet, that is why many don`t know, what they are doing.
I can recommend reading Ekhart Tolle`s books about all this.
We have to consider with our heart, what it is, we are doing. I often wonder about the actual existing moral such as working cheaply while on the dole, talking behind other people`s backs being self-absorbed often playing a victim role.
It is too easy to blame someone else and seeing criticism as a negative judgement. We have to look inwards to the matrix to change as much as possible for the better. There will always be people, who never get it. The happiest people are the ones, who don`t need anything to feel happier, because their ego is set free through spiritual awareness.
An ego dependant person can also be someone, who is keen on being a spiritual leader almost obsessed with career and even ascension, because they "think" it is needed to feel, that they ARE or maybe they want to find paradise somewhere although it is just close up, but they can`t see it blinded by the ego. People in deep need and poverty often find their inner divinity, because life has pushed them to let go of the ego associations and then they are totally in peace in perception.
I think, once we find that inner peace it will effect our life, the film that is rolling in front of our eyes. The true I AM is the observer of the film. A homeless person can in that way be closer to paradise, living in the now with entusiasm and an optimistic view. My point is; people obesessed with ego values often die from depression feeling alone and unloved!
Namaste!
Even ourselves...do we want to downsize everything we have? Do we realy?
And if we do...did we not have to teach ourselves to do so?
I shure have.
I am shure that 85% of the world population does not even know how to live without all these ritches.
Everyday people say oh my god the battery of my phone is down i am going to die.
Oh my god i have nothing to wear even if my closet is full.
Oh my god there is nothing on tv.
Oh my god i am hungry even if it is only 1 hour ago i had a meal.
Shure they are not the rich talked about here above but they are not poor neither.
So why would they go and try changing things?
Change to what?
There is no education on something better right now so who will stand and make it?
Shure you can go to comunities that live naturaly but is that what everybody realy wants
Or is it more al the stuff without having to pay for it that people realy want.
Or at least be given the money to be able to buy it all?
If we would change overnight to a more natural and spiritual way of living 85% of the people would go NUTS,
