may not need to go as far as these words make you think. If dedicating the majorityof my income to food and shelter that is sustainable is poverty, then I am happy tobe poor. If simplicity and connection to nature means the elimination of commercialtelevision programming, then I will rejoice in the newfound time with my family,friends and nature. And finally, with the minimization of worldly goods the fewthings I do have will be more special and important to me and those I love as theybecome critical to sustaining our existence.Depending upon how we define it, wealth can be the source of a great manyproblems. For most of us the basic sources of wealth come from meeting somesimple and basic needs:R FoodR ShelterR ClothingR FamilyR Water, sunshine and clean airR Basic health careR HappinessUnfortunately the modern global system doesnt try to meet these needs. Instead itmakes it possible to accumulate the greatest amount of money, our modernrepresentation of wealth, through the creation of nothing at all. The rich andpowerful essentially use their power to leverage the wealth of the majority toinvest it in order to create greater wealth. The poor majority supply the low costlabor, while also, in the end, becoming the consumers required to keep this cyclegoing. So the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.True wealth must be understood well in order to transform this terrible systematicprocess of theft. True wealth can only be created through a process that is outsidethis institutionalized system. We must keep in mind that the current world systemwas invented and perpetuated by the small minority of rich, powerful, and paranoid.Once the meaning of wealth returns to that defined by nature , including sufficientfood, shelter, clothing, time with family, water, warmth, health and happiness, thenwe will have achieved natural sustainability.54
