Firework or not- where to spend money?

Finally the new year has begun and now even the chinese new year has arrived. It is now the year of the wooden horse, which means a lot of work, but also success to achive. Good news and best chances to do something new or go on with what you have prepared yourself last year.

But as happy these thoughts are, there are still people who cannot enjoy the celebration of the welcome of a new year.

What I mean is, that you read or hear after all the firework- people saying- what a waste of money! It would have better spend for the poor and hungry.

Like when you look on the beautiful firework from Dubai. 

It did cost a fortune but hell it was nice and gave a lot of poeple a good time, a good feeling, a good start and as it does cost it also brings money in. Tourist have been there just for this and even the poor could see and enjoy it. Is this a waste?

Taking it simple, then it is not a waste, although you’re right when you say there are poor and hungry people but those who payed for this have enough money to even give them money. But would this help?

Does it really help to stop doing firework, which gives an upplifting, new energy and hope for so many? Can we save the poor and hungry if we give the money for them? Sure, we can give them a day with less hunger and enjoy them a bit- but would this help?

It wouldn’t. Because if we want a change, then we have to change the system. Our system. Your system you live in.  It is the reason why people get the chance to land on the streets.

So if we change the system to a world where all have enough food, which is already possible but we have all the DIN norms and capitalist and all those people who love the power too much, so if we are lucky to change- would nobody be living on the street? The answere is hard but there will be people living on the streets. But if we change in a good way, we would respect them no matter what and help if we can. It is a natural thing to get lost in your way. That can and will always happen to some.

But back to the fact, that we have those fireworks to welcome a new chance, a new beginning, a new year. If it was your money, how would you deside? Be true to yourself. Wouldn’t we spend a bit money to celebrate as we do it already. I mean when I look around on new years eve, there is firework everywhere. And some of you did it too and say in the same time the rich should not give their money to a firework. What logic is this?

Isn’t it the old way of thinking only the rich can save, although they are a reason why we have poor? Is it the old way of thinking only you are to less to do a change? Even thought you know if all those simple people getting together can do the most change. We know this from history very well.

What if I say, spent less money on plastic toys and having always the newest thing? You can’t do that, can you?

Is this getting you uncomfortabel? Well, it should. Truth about yourself is first always making you uncomfortable. 

But your right, we can change the way we celebrate a new year. They are sure ways less expensive then fire up the sky.

Be the one to come up with those and tell it to the world. You’re welcome!

See, there is always a way and that is what a new year can bring to us too. Finding new ways.

Happy new year, even thought I am a bit late this time to write and which you this, but as we all know it is never too late.

Love & Light
