[QUOTE="timewerx, post: 77586647, member: 314730"] My dad is a very good problem solver, eager to instruct others and helped so many people and nice and good to everyone, having earned the informal title of "peacemaker" in our neighborhood. A good Christian in all respects. Unfortunately, not having the best of personality even though he tried his very best to please other people, did not get him many close friends. Since dad ran a business whose success depended strongly on having good network of friends or associates, it did not succeed as well as the others and when difficult times struck, it did not fare well. No one came to his aid, even other Christians he had helped a lot in the past who are now quite financially well off. I don't know exactly why. For one thing my dad is the opposite of being worldly or materialistic. Although dad rarely talked about the merits of simplicity with other people, he wore cheap and simple clothes, spent so little time about his appearance, didn't try to talk and act like how rich people do when everybody else is doing the opposite. I think it may have rubbed people the wrong way and saw my dad as repulsive or sending off "negative vibes". I think this is how the world works today, it's about the vibes, dress and look and act like a rich person even if you're not. Trying to look rich is "positive vibes", trying to look simple and basic is something that may be associated with the poor and is "negative vibes". Anyway, just a theory. I've attended MLM rallies before and it's what they "preach". Look and act like rich to attract riches. It does seem to work although not necessarily compatible with Christ's teachings.
