Why should we gather all this wealth when we will leave it behind for others one day?

Question

I don't understand this logic, when we know we will die and leave behind all this money, the beautiful house etc.. thn y should we struggle to achieve it in the first place?? Can any body give me a good reason????

Answer 1

Here is the way I understand it... we all have hopes and dreams that we attempt to achive over our life. What is the purpose of our lives?

Would you rather try to live your life with 3 kids in poverty and always worry about money. Or live you life with a bit of relaxation with 3 kids and not have to worry about that next paycheck....
I would choose the later. And in doing so we can assume that I have more objects of wealth...

We can go back to living in primitive times, without money, but that would be pointless because everyone has a bit of greed.

Answer 2

Well, you talk about rich and wealth like they are the same. If you are rich, you have the nice house, car, and etc etc. If you are wealthy, you are rich for a period of time. Most people save to become wealthy because the future is unknown. The cost of living always increases (look at the gas prices still) and wealth generates more wealth if managed properly. You save for the generation ahead of you simply because you want your sons and daughters to have a better life than you.

Answer 3

It is the jew mentality that has affected our society greatly. Too many people see life as a game to accumulate the most material possessions. This is a sad paradigm to go through life in, but sadly it is all too common.

Answer 4

this is why they invented communism. You really do not have to accumulate wealth if you do not want to , it is free country.

Answer 5

we want to give it down to the present generations because we are all family
