Why cant we all be happy and healthy and content?

Question:

Why cant we all be happy and healthy and content?

We all live on the one planet, its filled with oil, gold, silver, copper, diamonds etc etc etc , I didnt know that the planet Earth was the property of a certain few? I thought it belongs to all the people living on it? why cant we just all have a little bit of its wealth, so we can all live healthey and happy together? I know people will say a bunch of political crap, but it should be simple, so much wealth on one planet and so many people dying and struggling, I mean C'mon, Oprah on her own could make hundreds of people millionaires, thats just one person, think of all the Gold and Diamonds in the Earth, if everyone on the planet was givin just a bit, ok so I might be dumb but it just doesn't make sense nor do I really think it would be that hard, but I suppose the Bill Gates of the world dont like to share, is that the problem?? people dont want others to share their toys? is that all the problem really is? I share what I have, lets all try. Peace

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: That's not dumb you are very right, and this is a great question. It must be a sickness to want all that money, I know I would share. Most people are not looking for a handout, but an equal opportunity to have what everyone should have, especially in a country like ours. I think we would all be better off without technology, and just living off the earth. I always say that I would rather be a monkey, they don't have to pay rent.

Guru-
obviously you have never been a single mother. Money is important in this country-in this life. How do you expect people to buy food with contentment? True that contentment is not about money, you asked a question like that (still no best answer?), but I think we are talking about the difference between rich and poor, and how unfair it is. Actually how criminal it is.
