這是整部「與神對話信息」中最棒的生活智慧之一:
聽神談【重新定義「富裕」】Redefine Wealth :3/4篇
答案是,重新定義「富裕、富有」為:可取得使用與可流通分享。從「擁有財物與權力」的經濟,轉換到一種「使用與合作」的經濟。
並非每個人都需要「擁有」屬於自己的吸塵器,他們需要的只是對它的 「使用」。
許多人付巨額款項去擁有和持有(own and hold)東西,但在他們擁有它時,又有大半時間沒有在使用它。
在一個消費導向的西方社會,每個人都被訓練成認為他們必須「擁有屬於自己的」每樣東西。但在世界某些較不「富有」的地區───注意,這可占了世界的三分之二的人口───每四戶家庭能彼此共用一台吸塵器,或一台洗衣機,或一部車的話,他們就會感激不已。
人類只要改變其對財富(wealth)的定義,從『擁有財物和權力』改變到『使用與合作』,世界就能夠在一夕之間改變!
摘自《走出靈性文盲》第4章
And the answer would be, redefine “wealth” as access and availability. Shift from a “possessions-and-power” economy to a “use-and-cooperation” economy.
Not everyone needs their own vacuum cleaner. They simply need the use of one.
Right now many humans are paying an enormous amount of money to own and hold things, most of which they use a tiny fraction of the time that they own it.
Well, in the consumer-oriented society of the Western world, everyone is trained to think that they have to have their “own personal copy” of everything. But in some of the less “wealthy” regions of the world—read that, two-thirds of the world— yes, in two-thirds of the world, four families would be grateful beyond measure to be able to have the use of one vacuum cleaner between them, or one washing machine, or one car.
The world could change overnight if humanity simply changed its definition of wealth from “possession and power” to “use and cooperation.”
