The poor have no security. Wealth provides power, opportunity, and the means to create your own security. Poverty makes you powerless. Poverty makes you a victim. Placing hope for security in God is foolish, wishful thinking.
Materialism is a love.
Materialism loves things and uses people. People are valuable only if they can help me achieve my goals and objectives. The person who is unable to help me advance my material objectives is useless to me. I value only those people who benefit me . My family must never forget that they are second.
