thanks guys for the enlightening responses. this question came up when
i was working on a bus and talking to my friend. we asked ourselves what
does it really mean to be rich and what is rich. some of the conclusions
we came to were that richness could also be equated with peace.
if the situation in your life is such that u are at peace u are truly rich.
this includes not only physical wealth but also health our relationships
with others and our relationship with ourselves. we decided that one
other crucial aspect in being rich is having the genuine desire to serve
others. we all know people with plenty of money who have no peace
just look in the papers they are filled with them so it is not solely
based on wealth. i once worked with a fellow who was in a nazi
concentration camp and had lost his whole family in the war. he was
the nicest man he was always helping people it was a pleasure being
around him. he was rich .
thanks for your wonderful responses
