Very true.
That and $3.00 will get you on the NYC subway, Irwin.
Irwin is truly wealthy. We could use a lot more Irwin’s in our world, just now especially.
Hold on to those values, Irwin!
Character building is what all parents should teach their kids….love, respect, compassion, responsibility…etc
True words.
A concept lost on so many people.
And in fact, having piles of excess $$ seems to preclude it.
If you ask a fisherman “What’s your net worth?”, the answer will depend on how successful today’s catch was.
Here is the reality: Be kind to everyone who look like me. Respect the opinions of other who think like me. Be a good citizen only when it makes me look good and give me an advantage over the rest.
Think of the accumulated interest if Broomhilda put one dollar in the first bank and left it there.
Can I borrow some of that.

Good words to live by. If you are happy with what you have, then you won’t be envious of those who have more.
Unfortunately, I think politicians also use that definition when they say “tax the rich”.
Irwin is the troll that all trolls should emulate!
Blessings on us all, Irwin….
