The Landscape...

"Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven"  Matthew 5:3

The rich man has everything handed to him.  He has no need to move.  He can sit still for the rest of his life and never worry.  He can buy his strength...even though it would weaken him.  He's happy...

The poor man must scrape everyday for his existence.  He finds meaning and purpose in every dollar he earns.  The gas bill, the night's meal and the winter coat for his boy.  His check is gone...until the next one.  He's not...

Who will live longer?  Who will be stronger?

Figure it out ;-)

~Apollo

My spirit is "poor" in perpetuity...even if wealth should take hold
