I think the most interesting observation that I noted this week in class was the about how we measure wealth. The Do You Mind question, how does one measure wealth (without the concept of money) was really interesting to talk about. I guess the only way that I thought wealth could be measured before was through how much money a person had, but the more we discussed it in class the more I realized that I was wrong. Wealth is about how much love, respect and kindness you can give to others, and more importantly how much love, respect and kindness people give to you. You know you are a wealthy person if you have a great family that respects you for what you and loves you no matter what. You know you are a wealthy person if do not do wrong to other people and if you try your absolute best to help out others and our planet.
This observation made me think about how lucky of a person I am to have such a wonderful family and such wonderful friends that are always there for me. It makes me wonder about how many people are unfortunate to have this kind of wealth in their lives and how I want to help those people.
