The idle Rich


If you are getting $3,000 ($50,000 in 2021) per year, you can afford to sit around wondering what it is all about or sitting on the top of a mountain contemplating your navel. Unfortunately, most of us have to work for a living.

Larry did work for a living, wherever he went, and he never felt any job was too menial for him. And the question of living an authentic, personally meaningful life isn't reserved just for the rich. You don't need massive wealth to delve into a deeper life. In fact, even though the rich probably need to consider that question more than most, few actually do it. Yes, we need a certain amount of money in a consumerist culture; but too much of it can insulate & numb the soul all too easily & thoroughly.
