Flores Diogenes, a New York resident, originally from the Dominican Republic, believes and tells whoever cares that wealth, love and peace, are his watch words. He says that when you have wealth, people will love you and that when you lacks wealth, no one will give you attention enough to translate into love. He bets that with wealth comes love and peace. He is serious about it that wealth matters and it is all one requires to gain attention and embrace peace, which he says poverty rarely confers. But does wealth really matter?
Many people interviewed agree with Diogenes, who say further that without money that signifies wealth with which one will take a girl to lunch or dinner and movie theaters and clubs, no female of substance will pay attention. "You need money to command attention. Money is what you use to acquire wealth," Diogenes says. He believes that it is toward acquisition of wealth that people work and that that there is a need to work sensibly to acquire wealth, the reason he says immigrants have left their countries to come to New York from all around the world and many Americans from their states to taste the sweet Big Apple.
Diogenes sounds like a practical economist or one who believes in what economists says about the human insatiable appetite, which says that the more one gets the more he will still yearn to get and therefore becoming wants difficult to satisfy against needs that should been the natural level of human demand. Many people believe that the human strive to acquire beyond his or her needs is responsible for the unmanageable level of corruption in the world and blame those whose tendency is to acquire wealth inordinately. But how would one know when inordinate acquisition has taken over what should be the natural level of human demand based on needs?
The human dream, like the American Dream, is supposed to be informed by a desire to conquer poverty, achieve a level of education enough for intellectual empowerment, own your own home and a car, which will ensure that members of the family has a roof over their heads and a means of mobility in areas, where the mass transit cannot meet the demand for the family's mobility. But acquiring wealth means going beyond striving to meet these essential need to acquiring those things we may want, but which we may not need for the day - to - day survival.
For example, acquiring houses beyond our needs to rent out to the less privileged is out of the way of meeting natural needs and a way to seek to make as much money beyond the level needs and outside altruistic necessities. Some of us are working to own mansions and fleet of cars in our adopted home countries and our home countries, and thereby working the human body to naught or seek other illegal means to amass such acquisitions and belong in the category of the affluent. Some wealthy people will say they are comfortable to escape being tagged as affluent, affluence being a state of having abundant wealth, money, riches and material without sense that the acquisition cannot be sustained without cutting corners.
Many people believe that wealth does not matter, but that having money enough to meet their needs is just enough. They say that we work in order to have money to meet essential needs of life. They say people with too much wealth do everything they can do to sustain their wealth, because according to this group that says too much wealth can lead to insanity, the rich or excessively wealthy wants to make and make more money. They say that the excessively wealthy and the really insatiable in the people that society. They say that the excessively wealthy say they use their money to make more money and also take other people's money in the bank to add to what they already have to make more money, because with much money, negative credit issues are not hindrances to them.
Many other people believe that to have peace of mind, you don't need much money or wealth. They say the wealthy don't have peace of mind, because their mind is always on their wealth and that they can hardly close two eyes, when they sleep.
