I have seen this over and over...people who seem to have it all..CONTINUE to get more,while other's struggle all their lives just to make it day to day.Also from my own experience..alot of the people who have it all are not always the nicest people! Do you think it has to do with being born into money or something else?Would love to hear your opinions..thanks

Sometimes looks can be deceiving. My husband and I were homeless when we married. He is now in upper management with a company and we are very blessed. But, we worked very hard to get there and put extremely hard work together with our faith....We have given a lot of money away, made people's house payments, etc...By the looks of it, people would think it came easy and we were born into it...But in reality, we came from poor families. People who judge didn't see the many struggles, hard work and sleepless nights it took to get where we are.

You are right some do seem to have it all , and some have to struggle. I am one of those who struggle. My husband is disabled so unable to work, I have a chronic illness and find it very hard to work- I am a musician. Finances are terrible. health is not good. HOWEVER- I would rather have Jesus than all the riches in the world, I do have Jesus. It teaches us to trust God moment to moment- those who seem to have everything can give God the glory if they choose. Some do some do not. Like Paul, God is teaching us to be content where we are. I think contentment is the key word here. Some rich people are not content to stay where they are either. We cannot compare ourselves to anyone else.

It comes down to how people carry themselves, regardless of what they actually own. A penniless, homeless man can seem like he has everything he needs if he acts that way, while a multi-millionaire can wallow in depression and misery and seem so much worse off than the homeless man.
Human interest stories of people with everything/nothing can create the illusion that there really are people with everything or nothing, but truth be told nobody has everything they want, nor will anyone have everything they want.
It's about being happy with what you have. People who are positive about what they have will always seem to have more, while those with negative outlooks will seem to have so much less, regardless of their material wealth (or lack thereof).

Bad people are not necessarily stupid. There are lots of very smart people that are really bad.
I think the keyword in what you asked was....'SEEMED'.
People all have their own personal struggles.

Capitalism. Survival of the fittest (intelligence, hardwork, competition, greed, sometimes inherited, etc). Its not a happy or gay system for all people. This question has nothing to do with religion though.

Time and chance happen to everyone.
I think you'll find that it rains on everyone, and the sun shines on everyone also.
If you can understand it, read Ecclesiastes.

because, some people work for what they want, and others pray a god will do it for them, and still others, are just too lazy to do something about it.

I think the difference is in really understanding what you want.
