The perception of wellbeing in society.

If television news channels are showing news with so much of consideration for the suffering, then they are also feeling as uneasy as those suffering. However, if people who are materially, and socially well off, can have nightmares, then both the materially well off, and the not so well off, are in the same boat. Are the materially well off to comfort other people's nightmares, when they are experiencing nightmares themselves? The poor have their reasons, for their nightmares, and so do the rich. If being rich does not guarantee happiness, then neither does being poor. What is the in between? Perhaps, when we are neither rich, nor poor? When are we neither rich nor poor? When a person is neither rich nor poor, is the mindset of the individual. A person who is neither rich nor poor, is affected by richness and poorness, which means, that we all are both rich and poor. If a man says, that he is in want, whether he be less or more well off materially, we may be more considerate towards the less materially well off, and less considerate towards the more materially well off. A person who is better off materially, is considerate towards the poor, by not comparing his own well being, negatively, when comparing the well being of the poor to his own well being. But, if a person is making efforts towards wealth, be sure, that he compares himself negatively to others, in terms of wealth. How can one be considerate towards, only the poor? The rich may feel, that they have a choice. The poor feel that they have no choice. The rich are insecure in choices, and the poor are insecure in no choices. Those who were poor, may be rich, but how have the once poor, helped the now rich, and vice versa? have those who were once poor, helped their fellow rich to be less insecure? Have those who were once rich, now poor, done the same for the poor?
