a cousin of a friend had very rich parents, he never worked , was in 60s when I met him, he had friends, mostly poor/disabled/met at pub .. he ran marathons for years , was what used to be called 'eccentric' I guess. He had big house with yard full of car wrecks in what became very good area, inherited a massive block in best area of adelaide, walkerville tce, sold it for $500k 20 years ago, be worth $5mil now , he may have been on dole but never would have told anyone @Former-Member so he had a useful life in some respects, just didnt work. apparenlty thats not uncommon for people who are born rich. Found out at fathers funeral that his boss years ago was bankrolled by rich aunts in Adelaide who his father had hocked their farms to .. they charged him rent, til he eventually bought things back

I actually think society does not care if people do not work, However they Do take umbrage that people would dare to be poor and it is the fault of the person not society that they are poor.
Centrelink is just a scheme to punish the poor. Not about employment or working, or gainful employment @Former-Member its like you want this gruel how low will you stoop to get it ..
Pretty sure being poor is still a crime in countries of British origin who would happily still have people living 10 to a room with no toilet or shower and start work age 4 and work til killed by work , age 40 if lucky

Thats unusual. I've come across some very rich people and they expected their kids to work and gave them nothing. My biological sister (relinquished by my mum and dad) was adopted into a Toorak family and they expected her to pay her way. I knew of someone else with parents that ran a lucrative furniture business and while they did buy psychiatrically disabled son a townhouse but gave him nothing else. No possessions, nothing @TAB.

Good Morning folks @TAB @Historylover @Emelia8 @Shaz51 @Bill16 @StuF just doing my morning practices. Had a great nights sleep for a change. Looking forward to another day. Have checked my fasting blood: 6.2 could do better but its better than yesterday. Weighed myself this morning. Was happy, its coming down each week within less obese range. My diabetes educator wants bloods between 4 and 5.5

Can't see the picture yet @TAB. Youre obviously awake over there in WA. Here its 6am. Just aligning my hara. Its an energy line that run from the higher octave of love through your central channel and connects chakras and then flows to the molten sun at the center of the earth. It enables the line to be healed and flowing like healthy branches on a tree. [QUOTE]: "It connects us to and aligns us with the Divine vibrations of Love, with the Source of all that is and is a vital connection needed to feed, nurture, uplift and sustain the spirit. The Hara Dimension also holds the encoded message of our life’s purpose. When we become blocked, broken or misaligned from this connection we lose our experience of the Divine, our passion for living, creativity, vitality and health of mind, body and spirit. We feel lost in the world, like we don’t belong and have a deep desire to go home."

Well, you're up and about early too, @Former-Member. Good on us! I'm pleased to read your health is improving overall. Keep it up. Weather is cooling, which is nice for walking. Soon we'll be traipsing through all the fallen leaves. Have a good day!

Hello @Historylover good to hear from you this morning. I'm usually up around this hour. I'm glad you are doing well. Yes my health is coming together. I'm a Virgo so I'm into health in a big way! Its going to be a full moon today. I'm working with amethyst and black lava crystal to stabiise the energy. Lots of stuff that has been pushed down for people will erupt suddenly. Its hard to predict how its going to go but astrologers are saying it will be chaotic as buried emotions will surface.
