When did we....

[Rocker123]

People forget about the training a plumber or an accountant undertakes. You are paying for their knowledge, experience and expertise. They just see the plumber turning up and fixing the problem in a few minutes and think ... He did almost nothing! But they forget he has experience of this problem from before so he knows how to fix it. He purchased the special tools to do the job so all these things reflect in the price.

We live in a rip off society where there seems to be a culture of grab as much money as you can. Politicians and leaders show bad example by their greed and everyone follows on.

Thankfully not everyone is greedy in life. People who volunteer to help organisations add a lot to the quality of life in a country..... Here in Ireland I am thinking of people who give their time to coach children in games at the weekend. People who sit by the phone in the Samaritans, people who cook dinners for the homeless and go out to give them a dinner on Christmas Day..... There is a lot of good and generosity in the world and we should try to notice that too.

Good thread Ana.
