This fact need to be retold again and again by prominent economists. A person cannot become rich without making some more people poorer. Thus the rich can be few only. Poor becomes in millions.
Natural resources and growth contributes to wealth. But when one person corners it to the exclusion of others, he becomes rich and others become poor.
The mankind will become worse than a rat race if everyone has one simple goal to become richer than others.
Media is daily seducing us to buy more more and more. To possess more and more. This makes us all necessary to become rich to buy those things.
Therefore, the fundamental truth must be underlined. We all cannot become richer than others. It is logically impossible. And we cannot become rich and enjoy luxuries without making someone poorer.
These thoughts may not stop our striving to become richer than others.
But these knowledge will certainly make us pause and think if our compass is showing right direction
