To be a Hero or To Enjoy the Life
Any problem in this world is rooted in the gap between the rich and the poor.
Therefore, in order to solve any serious problem, you have to decrease this gap between the rich and the poor. As the first step, you have to be poor yourself. That is why Christ Jesus became a poor man. Yet, all the teachings of Christ Jesus converge at practice of becoming poor. So, as Christ Jesus told, if everybody decided to follow Him, everybody would have to be poor. But by becoming poor, you cannot enjoy your life any more, though you can be a hero probably authorized by Christ Jesus.
Accordingly, when there are no rich men at all in the US, all the problems in the US will be solved, since every problem is a result of the gap between the rich and the poor. And, Christ Jesus kindly taught the way for a rich man to be poor: "Sell all you belongings and give all the money you get to the poor and follow me."
This issue of being rich and being poor is one of the oldest ones for mankind. And, it has been the major source of problems in any human society. But so far as now, mankind cannot achieve this state of no gap between the rich and the poor.
To solve a 10 dollar-scale problem, you will get $100 from somewhere while causing a 1,000 dollar-scale problem. To solve a 1000 dollar-scale problem, you will have to get $10,000 from somewhere while causing a 100,000 dollar-scale problem. And to solve a 100,000 dollar-scale problem, you will have to get $1 million from somewhere while causing a 10 million dollar-scale problem. This chain of aggravation never ceases. But, in this process, every rich man enjoys his or her life while every poor person is suffering. To put an end to this vicious circle, the gap between the rich and the poor should be removed; everybody should be poor, if anything.
At least, this principle should be taught in every primary school all over the world, though nobody would like to live up to this teaching. It is impossible, but it must be understood that it is the very goal of mankind.
However, how can you say that pursuit of wealth must be regulated? How can you specify legally that a man should not be richer beyond a certain level. For example, can you provide in law that assets or income beyond $1 million should be all taken by the government? Then, 100 super-rich men would hire 10,000 people to protest against this movement. And these 10,000 people would employ 1 million people to counter this movement. Further, these 1 million people would bribe 100 million people with any type of promises of supply of profit. They will all actively work for their cause overwhelming simple and innocent poor people. Politically this movement would be blocked. Then the gap between the rich and the poor will be further increasing.
This kind of situations can be only effectively addressed by heroes who voluntarily abandon their wealth and follow the teaching of Christ Jesus no matter how many other rich men continue their sinful way of life.
But if you say this teaching to any rich man, he would simply laugh at you. But, such a rich man will be surely condemned by God and he will fall into the pits of hell. Everything depends on this truth and faith: a rich man is destined to the hell.
It is the final solution in a larger scale over the boundary of this world. Indeed, when all the rich men go to hell from this world, there will be no problems any more in the society where everyone is poor. They will use any wealth to solve a problem. But this is not a world based on communism or socialism but based on the teaching of Christ Jesus. No leaders can enjoy any riches and worldly power, a source of wealth. No executives hold exclusive power in a party or an organization, but everybody is poor sharing the same executive power, since power is a source of wealth.
This is the goal of mankind. We have to move onward to the world without the gap between the poor and the rich. There will be no problems at all eventually, since we will have heroes everywhere.
Even in the US, there are many children living in abandoned cars or cars in abandoned places.
In China absolute poverty is being conquered but relative poverty persists.
In Cambodia that has survived the Pol Pot crazy cleanup revolution targeting rich men and the middle class, a poor girl cannot go to school due to poverty today.
Of course, there are some homeless people even in Tokyo...
