Real wealth isn't about money anyway. Great thoughts on sacrifice. Thanks Natalie,

Great thoughts on sacrifice.

Although I agree with most of his ideals here, I do believe it's okay to have wealth without work, as long as you have the consciousness to deal with your wealth in a positive way. To say you must work for wealth means you couldn't create it elegantly, allowing it as a gift from God, for example. I think it's fine to receive wealth as a gift - and it would be wonderful if you appreciated it and used it wisely. Also I have a problem with the word sacrifice, and especially as it's connected to worship, because some religions teach that you need to give up what you love. Maybe Gandhi meant sacrificing the parts of yourself that get in your way of being close to God, though: your self pity, your judgment, your martyrdom and other choices and behaviors that prevent your experiencing the fullness of God's love.
