U dont need rich parents to get anywhere in life. My fathers a multi-millionaire many times over and he has never given me a cent in his life, and never will.
I started with nothing worked 7 days a week for many years to get a succesful business. (like millions of people in this country)
I could work one day a week and cover all my bills, like millions of business owners, but what will I do for the other 5 or 6 days, sit at home and watch Oprah (no thanks).
The reason life is so comfortable for many in our lucky country is because technology has made our lives in 2012 very very easy. Every convenience is 2 minutes away, or even just over the net, and u can do everything, and never ever leave home. I think life was alot simplistic for those older who lived many years without mobile phones, internet etc. Once upon a time, u actually visited people face to face, now its over the I-phone, I-Pad or webcam at home. We dont walk anywhere, we have cars, life is so easy in this techology age. Makes us even less needed as humans. Machines do everything.
About helping people in your community, its ahard one, cause people need to help themselves, and wont help themselves when everything is provided for free when a husband and wife with 2 kids get a grand a week on the dole doing nothing. I find it hard to accept anyone in Australia in 2012 needs a hand from anyone when the govt hands out free wage packets. You can rent a house and live like a king on a grand a week in this fine country. Dont get me started on dole bludgers, my pet hate. Unemployed sincere people, no problems, they deserve help. People who chose not to work for years, different story.
Sending money overseas, thats personal choice. Things will never change over there til the governments change. The United Nations shld do a beter job.
* I dont know that we are farked up, there is nothing wrong with working hard, spending your hard earnt $ on pinballs, or cars or jetskis or whatever floats ya boat. You have to do something 7 days a week with ya family to enjoy your life and do something with your time. Just treat everyone well along the way and be honest n friendly which is the aussie way.
