On Abundance

Recently it was announced that Bill Gates and Warren Buffet have introduced a new initiative, The Giving Pledge, whereby they are encouraging the world's wealthiest people to commit in excess of half of their riches to philanthropy. The front page of the Gates Foundation's website has the following quote; 'All lives have equal value'. Every human being on this planet is deserving of the best which life has to offer and to share equally of the bounty which is present on this earth. There is more than enough to go around...and to provide each and every one of us with the best of everything which comes from this planet and through the use of our amazing technologies. And if we ever get to the point where some resource becomes scarce, God will give us the knowledge and ability to either find more or come up with even better alternatives. I see The Giving Pledge as a very important step in bringing equality and a better life to billions of people on this earth...and yet another great step towards heaven on earth.
