Well presented but both had to be beggars. Both wanted more money than they had to get things they didn’t have or couldn’t get by other means. Both were begging for more money.
All is relative of how much do I really need because as I’m learning on a Very, Very low fixed and limited income Well Below 200% of the Federal Poverty Level that the people who want more than the next guy demand wages that are higher, causing the other fellow to want more money and around it spirals upwards.
While I’m content with what I have, it takes money to have energy to run my lights and powered items, food to feed it, gas to get around, and money to pay All the Bills that keep rising.
I don’t think it’s entirely a person’s choice whether they’re content. One could appreciate what they have and have, like in my experience, have my highly functioning phone be forced into obselence by the “greedy” phone company in order to sell more phones. Its replacement was twice the price of the previous one. Did I want to continue using the old one? You betcha! And there apparently were too many people doing that such that this leading smart phone manufacturer forced phone owners to replace the phone at wildly exorbitant prices!
As you asked, I believe both were beggars as we all are by the twist evil nature that too many businesses have turned into. They claim to donate some of their profits as a charitable act. Having great quality at a good price is also a charitable act that business people have lost track of.
Thank you for the lecture. Blessings to you and all on the journey.
Warmly,
