Billionaires to Zillionaires

403 individuals have a collect net worth of $1.3 trillion.  Those numbers in currency conversions are called quadrillion that's after trillionaires.

Some think I'm insane but these numbers are F*&%#* bullshit.  However, it is important to know who these people are and what they do for the rest of us.  Bill Gate and his wife Melinda, with their foundation, The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundations make substantial contributions to a variety of organizations in aiding world health, education and sustainable living.  Their ethical approach encourages other multi national corporations to philanthropy.  
inspiring the legendary, Warren Buffet to donate most of his fortune to the foundation.  The message is bold and clear, that the transparency of capitalists ventures has pushed beyond business.  It has lacked the grace and dignity of welfare.  In the materialization of a global economy, people have learned and deeply respected the fact that not all nations, corporations or businesses are equal defying the logic and very beginnings of the United States foundations to equality and justice.  It shall be the choice of the people, for the people and by the people that this nation will continue to grow and include those wish for a democratic method of government and its principles of fairness.

RE: Dr. Cornel West's FB comment

The U.S. has 403 billionaires - China ranks second with 64 billionaires. The success of it - does it really amount to something bigger than greed? For the rich are still held back by the wealthy (Chris Rock said it best) but the hearts of those still striving for a stronger better future are most successful!!! God guides those who are connected.

The true mystery of life is consideration to what was, is and could be.  For many the past is gone, perhaps dead and for others the future is too distant from the present.  The discontent and struggles of everyday living is within our toils as we step out of the house to oblige to  another's needs and wants in society.  From corporate men and women to civil servants to the scientist to the average consumer advocate, we live to chase dreams.  However, dreams during the night are elusive and often vanish at early morn.   Sadly, many often greet dawn with anticipation of squalor while securing edifice throughout the day.  Corporate America understands this as a common drive for getting up and heading off to work.  However, it must be interjected that the joys of life are obtained by observation, acknowledgement and the subtle grace of guidance.

If you punch the button at work, then come home and punch up the power button at home you rediscover that human form once again, perhaps the days events equated to highway robbery and loss of dignity.  Regardless of displacement and dissatisfaction, we recover.  Entertainment is meant to recharge the soul, the visual arts are meant to remind and reprimand our humanity, music is meant to ensure our proclivity for the future and literature is to relax and compliment our minds. With each of these cultural aspects, anyone can gain a mass prospective of the global world.  We breathe and find freedom once again.  Individual exploration opens the door for the new dawn to greet our neighbors, community, city, country or nation.  Those who believe that life does not come with a rewind, play, pause, stop or fast forward button, I beg to differ as the world wide web has provided us with history, cultural dexterity and a state of the art deliverance of information.  We choose where we want to be in the aspect of cultural diversity in past history and generations, present day information and inquiry and with infinite possibilities for the future.  As a word structures a sentence and a sentence develops into ideas, the internet provides the same multitude in societal solidarity.  A pixel to photo, a text to a blog, a song to lyrics, a emoticon to an acronym: they are slight changes embraced by the young and old for the here and now and all are semiotic to the current world's technology.

Our lives are in the form of still lifes.  The individual is inanimate in comparison to the vast amount of knowledge we presently live in.  Each of us contains a chapter and verse and we ought to speak of great creatures big and small.  If we aspire to greatness it can only be reverberated within ourselves and then resonated around us.  The beauty grows within our homes, towns and communities.  It then reflects our social views of society.  The journey is to chase down the names of those who've guided us in the past and find those who are taking us into the future.  While education is key, we can multitask to enjoy ourselves along the way.  Overall, don't believe the hype and think for yourself with your very own feelings and findings because we are still works in progress.

CULTURAL PLURALISM IS MULTICULTURALISM BOUND BY THE ARTS, DISCOVERED AND PRESERVED FOR ALL RACIAL IDENTITIES AND EVIDENTIARILY UNIVERSAL.

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

Buddha quotes (Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, the founder of Buddhism, 563-483 B.C.)

“We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise we harden”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe quotes (German Playwright, Poet, Novelist and Dramatist. 1749-1832) “Men who are occupied in the restoration of health to other men, by the joint exertion of skill and humanity, are above all the great of the earth. They even partake of divinity, since to preserve and renew is almost as noble as to create.” Voltaire quotes (French Philosopher and Writer. One of the greatest of all French authors, 1694-1778) And as I reinvent myself and I'm constantly curious about everything, I can't wait to see what's around the corner in newfound art and entertainment and exploration.  Pam Grier
