Within a capitalistic nation, it is difficult to change the philosophy of those who succeed if the goal to be successful is based on financial accomplishments and acquisition.Those who succeed have to understand that all those within a society are not going to succeed by that definition. However, human nature can intervene and encourage the successful to share with those who do not have the very basics of living. However, there are places I have been where I have known people with little but who have great inner happiness. Determining what happiness is is the root of solving this situation.
