If all the rich people in the world divided up their money among themselves there wouldn't be enough to go around.

About This Quote

If all the rich people in the world divided up their money among themselves there wouldn't be enough to go around. We all know that there is a problem with inequality in our society. It's not just that some people have more than others, it's that the gap between rich and poor has become quite large. This fact is something we should all be very concerned about.

However, this quote suggests that it shouldn't matter if there aren't enough resources to go around: we shouldn't care about how much we have or how much others have. We should only care about how we feel and what we could do next to make us feel better about ourselves.
