We think of wealth and the economy being affected by goods and services, Russia and Ukraine are exports of wheat and natural gases and oil, as well as land full of precious metals and elements.

However, I want to emphasize the fact that wealth is the intelligence, creativity, and productivity of its citizens as well. And with this war, and governments that limits the freedom of its citizen, this war has caused the world to be poorer with each life lost. We do not value the poor people in our communities, or the every day citizen. We like to have our attention on the rich, but the rich don’t always make the country grow in wealth (in fact they at times squirrel their wealth away from their country), it’s the people who makes their country vibrant and lively.

But what do rich people know of the common people? The rich wonders why the people poorer than them hate them, however it must be asked of the rich why they have little love for the people poorer then them. And they don’t know them, they don’t have meals together, they do not make meaningful friendships with those of lower economic standing. However how they differ in income, the rich unfortunately miss out on what money cannot truly buy.
