Being prosperous is your job
Our assertion begins with the statement that it is instinctual for you to live a healthy, happy and prosperous life. Instinctual? Yes. Forget about being a human being and think of yourself as a tree.
A tree's job is simple, make sure the future has more trees in it. Propagate the species.
As a tree your job is to be healthy. Your species depends on it so you grow and create other trees.
As
a tree your job is to be prosperous. You must consume as much of the
available resources available; you consume the nutrients in the soil,
cast your roots wide to gather all the water you can and spread your
canopy to make the most of the available sunlight.
As a tree you
don't care about happy because you don't have language, which is
required for that - although, that seems to make things more vs less
complicated as you will see below.
Your health and prosperity are
paramount to you, the individual tree, because your individual tree
success matters to all the trees of your species. You create a better
probability of more and better trees for all trees.
I have worked with people seeking wealth, who, using the tree analogy would have to say:
Oh, I can't have more water than the other trees, that is not fair.Language gives human beings the ability to invent brilliant philosophies but some are counter to our biology, physics and mechanics. Go ahead, have altruistic philosophies, I do. Just make sure they don't violate the laws of your biology.
It is evil to consume more water, nutrients or sunlight than the other trees.
We should find a way to make sure that all trees have the same opportunity.
I feel bad for wanting to have alot of water, nutrients and sunlight.
I don't want to be one of those greedy kinds of trees who grows too much.
I don't want to be one of those kind of trees that is only concerned with growing, I'm a nice tree.
The herd has been thinned for millions of years. You are it's best material to date.
It is time to be prosperous. It is your job.
