are u a winner or a whinger..?

Is it a normal progression.
A progression necessary, the changes that take place in ones life when one becomes materialistically stronger.
Does this progression with the bettering of ones personal financial well-being, also bring with it a change to ones social circle, ones behaviour , a total character overhaul?
Does materialistc wealth all of a sudden give birth to another person residing within oneself.

in the past, that need, that urgency to earn, because one does not know where tomorrows earnings may be coming from, time being of such importance, spent in concern for the well-being of self and ones loved ones, festering in ones mind, eradicating any hope of relaxation.
And then, friends and company kept, mellow and philosophising about the economics, interest rates and politics more prevalent in the social circles when the bank balance be strong and not in the red.
Is it right to judge and begrudge those of wealthy standing, labelling them hoity-toity and full of airs and graces.
Does wealth earned not require a respectful behaviour , serene, assured.
But, then, if pockets are not deep, why would hooliganism and such behaviour be OK? Why would the same fineties of character not apply? Would one then be labelled a pretentious ass only because the same amount of money is not available? Is the doggy eat doggy mindset then prevalent, survival of the fittest , fineties of character means weak of character?

What is it about money that not only gives us status but, brings out another side to us. What is it about money that all of a sudden makes us associate with people different looking down on others that used to be worthy of our company ... discretely avoided.

Could it be that through hard work and application and association to another level of success, one does not care to burden oneself with petty chat that centres on the failures of systems and blames them for ones own stagnation...chirping about society and politics challenging and unfair.
Rather, being concentrated on growth, educating oneself, not only in a formal way but through association with anything dynamic, positive and forward thinking would be the main agenda and draw card for those who have managed to reach a status different and above others.

Must be that many of us were not born to reach anything more than mediocrity and rather wallow in our own challenges, chosen or not.
A very cynical outlook even though i am a pragmatic romantic, an optimistic realist...the more i look out at society ...the more I understand why i cannot allow others to get lost in the milieu of nonsensical rubbish, for if i can do it, then there is a great probability many many others can too....it just takes knowing how...and importantly that consistent faith and belief , application an dedication and desire to learn and grow....to be led and taught by those that know...experience cannot be bought.

Money does not buy character or that x-factor or make a winner...it is a winner, no matter ones beginnings, that makes successful prosperous inroads and deservedly gains respect and a status envied by others.


So how do u see yourself..?
