Chasing Sainthood

This is something I have observed with rich individuals. First, they want to make a lot of money and generally be the best and the winners of everything. When they have it all, they look around for more, and find one thing, one only thing they do not have.

Sainthood.

Respected, but not liked they create a massive charity to gain sainthood on Earth. Like The Toff Award.

  1. Interesting perspective., Flurry! This may be the reason why some people start foundations.

    Others may do it because they want to get tax advantages, may be trying to make up for becoming wealthy by dishonest means, may want to skim funds from the charity, or may want to get into politics.

    Some may do it because they genuinely care about others and want to give back to society.

    Thank you for posting about this thought-provoking topic. All the best! 🙂 Cheryl

    1. Thank you Cheryl. Of course there are many good people helping others unselfishly, so it is not a simple picture. I am just struck by how many of our biggest charities are founded by large corporations, historical and modern, that started out using ruthless methods.
