If you don’t pay the good guys, only the bad guys have any money.
As a general philosophy of life, does it seem reasonable that
one should always ensure that whatever is sustaining oneself is prospering?
When I say “sustaining”, I am referring to literally anything and everything involved in sustaining one’s existence; physical environment, social environment, mental, emotional, friends, governments, religions, … whatever is actually contributing more positive than negative.
It seems to stand to reason that if the things sustaining a person are prospering, the person is inherently prospering. And in addition, if many were doing that, they would end up indirectly ensuring that everyone involved was prospering, including the first person. And all it would take is merely understanding the truth and importance of the philosophy.
In the absence of such a philosophy, quite the opposite naturally occurs, that which degrades and gradually destroys the person prospers at his expense. There need be no intention to do so.
