What does richness mean? Ariadna M. (2n ESO)

TO BE RICH IS NOT WHAT YOU HAVE ON YOUR BANK ACCOUNT, BUT WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HEART


According to the dictionary the meaning of richness is:
Richness is an abundant sum of goods, of valuable things or a
stock of economic goods available to a subject or a society.
But is that the real meaning of richness?  For me NO.

Richness is linked to abundance but is not always the money you have on your bank account, the number of homes you have or the companies that you are leading. There is another meaning of richness and that is for me the most important one.

MATERIAL RICHNESS
Material richness, therefore, is the possession or control of numerous assets and goods. This richness is created when a productive or commercial process generates more money than which was used initially.
Richness is opposed to poverty. The rich one has money and material means to satisfy their needs and to consume goods that are not essential, but the poor one has difficulties in health services and food.




SENTIMENTAL RICHNESS
Sentimental richness is usually associated with happiness. Those who are emotionally strong get true happiness and lasting success for all their lives. Emotionally rich people have:

1-Confidence
They are sure of their value as people and they don’t need the public to approve their actions. These people don’t need attention and they are satisfied with themselves.

2-Resilience
It is the ability of a person to overcome an adverse situation. 
They know how to control their reactions.

3-Looking forward
They don’t waste their energy trying to convince someone else 
that they deserve their attention. They are looking to improve

4-Enthusiasm
These people wake up wanting to enjoy their day the maximum.
They don’t miss 
opportunities.

5-Happiness
These people control their emotions. They chose the thoughts,
 the emotions and the answer instead of acting basing on fear.

In conclusion, I think that the emotional richness should be more valued that material 
richness. Because in this way we will be better persons and the world will be
 much better.
