Personal Finance and Investing

I looked up the Beatitudes, and see that there are several versions
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatitudes

But the most common ones in practice go like this:



I of course disagree, but it's quite prevalent.
Those who understand that real wealth is not in the illusions above need to convince others, one person at a time.

I have always held a few beliefs, starting with "thou shall not kill", but that seems to be the first resort rather than the last, or the non-resort. When I got the call, I joined the Coast Guard, thank goodness for that.

I have a set of beliefs, and don't add amendments, revisions and conditions to them, nor do I mark them up with sharpies. They work for me and I am glad to share, setting an example when I can (It worked for my fabulous daughter).

To me, killing is unconscionable, stealing is unconscionable, and of course, the world as it exists today is unconscionably sick and insane. To the extent that I can, I practice what I say. (and piano) That includes gratitude.

If more people learned from history instead of using it as a source of resentment and vengeance .... Oh well.
