Does wealth bring bad luck or misery if you don’t live by a religion?

[jennifer_bloom]

I googled the Rothschilds today. Amschel died by suicide, his grandpa died by suicide, another close relative of his died by suicide, two close family members had toxic levels of drugs in their system, a lot of divorces or patterns of violence happen among rich people who seek to wed other rich people for money and not for love or attraction, there are also suspicious deaths in their family which might be yet another hidden suicide, in China, 22.5% of the wealthiest people in the country will die by suicide, and God told me in a dream if I was rich without sacrifice, obedience, love, or work, he would make me just as miserable as those Chinese billionaires that die by suicide, but if I shared my money God would let me be happy again.

This will be a mess to write up. I can't speak for God but from my understanding alone, which i understand won't moves pebbles in this discussion buts its just something i wanted to point out here.

I'd say if your are charitable with wealth into smaller charities that are pure and so it over many many charities which prevents greed in one or two alone you could be aligning more morally with goodness on earth but the thing about being charitable is that you can get egotistical and prideful about it which is another type of sin which needs turning to faith to let it go or if your not christian means turning to something like Buddhism but then again why have wealth to begin with in that mindset and doesn't align with that type of teaching. But there again some do manage without a relgious belief by focusing on being altruistic or harnessing values that keep them moving in life, but there again if you've done everything your only options really are to just pay to be a student in something like a craft which is why I guess people sometimes sell everything and go monk mode.

I guess when we are spiritually empty we lose thay bandaid that keeps us intact when our drink cup is overfilled with greed like porn is desentises us so when our ego is so inflated and captured by wealth its very hard to feel good about ordinary and mundane things including things so people become suicidal, like they've lived everything artificially too fast through insane wealth. Wealth must be diluted with goodness because its like alcohol too much of the pure stuff can be bad for you risk leading to a slippery slope into death.

No, money is just a tool; it only amplifies whatever you already are. If you help people while poor, being rich will make you helpful at scale. If you take advantage of people while poor, being rich will make you exploitative at scale.

This is my prayer to God. "God, lead me through a path that best serves your purpose. I don't care if it's misserable like fame or death, or wonderful like gassing all of the progressives."

People always ask..."Why do you think fame is a bad thing?" They don't understand that brings the worst demons right to your doorstep. And that brings me to money, it can also do the same thing as fame... the demons will come to you because they feed upon or seek to use what you have to further their cause.

The thing about money is, you can choose not to flash or bandy it about out of pride. You can use it like a tool to just get things done that are good. Even evil uses it to get things done that are bad. Money is just a tool... much like a hammer. A hammer can kill or mame, or it can be used to help build a house or protect your loved ones.
