Such an excellent read. Thank you. Raising so many uncomfortable questions. Wealth. What is it? Based on what definitions, standards ? How badly have we exercised, misjudged our 1st level thinking when 2nd level thought process was pulling in the opposite directions - lifelong in so many cases ?

Urban‘s point about „time“ being most scarce of all resources isn’t new yet, so accurate. My own experiences, when looked at from the rear view mirror of life, reminds me of driving off that road so many times in a mighty effort & search of the holy grail of „wealth“ my conscience mind said was great yet subconsciously „wealth“ has proved to be so simple yet, uncomplicated. Right in front of me. Health. My family. Time. Without health, time is largely burdensome. With it, what joy you receive from caring for & starring into the eyes of your grandchildren when you get to tell them stories is worth millions & more. Their response & questions. Your response to them. Especially after they finally go back home - leaving you to recuperate over a beer or glass of wine. Priceless. That is my wealth. Thanks for the thoughtful piece🙏
Bob, I don't know if I could have said it better. I feel, deep down, that we all are searching for that "something." That "something", I think, if we are all brutally honest with ourselves is true contentment. That is what I would define as true wealth 👍
