An example of a billionaire, "getting it," is our local billionaire, Jimmy Pattison. He had humble beginnings. Became a businessman and built an empire. I love this guy, because he has never forgotten his past. He gives back. He headed Expo 86 where he worked as CEO for $1.00 a day, has given to hospitals, charities, etc. I'm sure if you dig deep enough, there's something he can be criticized for, but he has a heart of gold and treats people right. So he's a bit religious, but he never pushes it on others.

Anyway, when he passes, people will remember him. Friends, he had plenty of, and what's more important, he is respected by just about everybody. Even if he didn't have all that money and lost it all, he would still be respected.


When you give and help others whenever and wherever you can, the results are very rewarding. I know a lot of people don't "get it," but honestly giving to others without strings attached will fill all that void and darkness.


I wish Revscene had more givers than takers................. but like the rest of the world, people are too into themselves. Actually, more bystanders than anything. It's easy to just do nothing.

I might have mentioned this before, but I used to volunteer at fundraising events at schools. I found out that people with plenty of disposable income rarely give, while those who are not well off give the most. They have next to nothing, but they know what it's like to go hungry and not knowing if they'll make the next payments. Having money is a trap. We all need to feel comfortable and have what we've always wanted, but some people just have way more money than what they know what to do with.......... that didn't come out right. Need to stop this shit........... going to be accused of being "holier than thou."

god bless
