Why Do We Need More Philanthropists in the Modern World???

Hi, dear Steemians!

The pursuit of riches is the greatest value in our human society nowadays. Wealth is the defining characteristic of success and accomplishment, and it is a merit pursued by a great many dreamers from all ages and ethnic diversities.

In such society, capitalism is dominant in all economic affairs, and its sole purpose is to enhance the qualities that undermine the increasement of profit.

But is this the greatest thing we could aspire to achieve?

The class gap of wealth in society is indeed a problem, but it is not rooted in devilry and mischief. It is simply a matter of inevitable turn of events as a result of a properly functioning economic system.

The real dilemma is the purpose behind such riches and wealth. Many people aspire to become wealthy and that is their ultimate dream. But wealth in itself should not be a purpose, but a means to an end.

Imagine that you set out to become wealthy and acquire this dream after a couple of years of hard and exhausting work. What then? Should your purpose now be to become more and more wealthy?

Is that going to satisfy you or your soul?

Adam Smith once described the entirety of human endeavors in the economics of society as a search for the love of two primary things; money and glory.

One of the most effective ways to create an equal society is to give wealth meaning. Meaning and purpose are great incentives as they give people will and determination to do things that they otherwise would not.

Consider a soldier who fights in the front line for the glory of his country and wins the respect of his people.

Consider a scientist who works tirelessly to reveal something new about the laws that govern our universe.

Consider the boy who wishes to, one day, become the greatest artist on the face of the earth.

We can appreciate all these aspirations, because we see them all as noble.

But even though we live in a society where the most fundamental purpose is to gain riches, we refuse to believe that the pursuit is noble.

Most of us associate wealth with greed, where in truth it could be just a mean onto another end nobler than anything we could imagine.

That is where the idea of philanthropy comes in. That is where there is yet chance to create equity in our society.

The idea that wealth is a powerful tool in the minds of the decent.

Even if your aspiration is to become wealthy, consider the potential that it holds apart from your own desires and needs.

A BIG HUG!
