The other day I saw another "let's slam a corporation because I don't know what I'm really talking about" comment.
Ever since then, I was being constantly reminded and shown how these large corporations contribute to numerous charities to help those that would not have this help without their kindness.
I was even asked to look up Walmart as one of these corporations. This is what I discovered (below link). As in other corporations, Walmart contributes milllions of dollars annually towards charities all over.
Another thing I was told this morning was this: when we sit in disgruntled attitudes, we focus on our problems and not our solutions. We are reflecting our jealousy and discontent instead of the positive we truly wish to have; we negate ourselves.
Many of these people and corporations struggled to accomplish what they did. Not everything is as it seems. Not everyone was handed their fame or fortune on a silver platter. Walk a mile in their shoes before you judge them.

Also, as one of the ten commandments states: do not covet your neighbor's goods. When we do this, it may push us into disobeying another commandment - do not steal. I sense a lot of people's discontent, in another's fortune, because they want more than what they have including demanding others to give more than what they think they may be giving. I read it all the time: give me, give me, give me. To the point that I feel that they feel they have a right to another's possessions, with demands that are near to stealing.
Yes, stealing! Why? Because you haven't earned it, you're asking for it to the point of wanting to take it ... steal it.
Where has it been written that anyone has to give to anyone? Life has never been fair. I repeat, throughout history life has never been fair. Yet, there are those who are trying to be ... including big corporations. They may even feel like giving more if they didn't feel that we demanded too much of them. Think about it.
Isn't it better to be kind to yourselves and reflect that kindness to the people around you? To be gracious for what you have and not disparage what you don't have? Changing your attitude may change your life. Maybe it's your attitude that causes another to withhold helping.
My life's experiences have shown me that the people who are truly poor are poor in spirit. When I was a child we did not have a lot of material things but we had a happy home. I can even remember in my early adult life, as a struggling, single parent trying to make ends meet but due to my childhood years, I knew what to do to stay positive. I didn't lament over what I didn't have but worked toward getting what I needed. It worked.
Remember, there's no pocket in that last shirt you wear ... that goes for corporations too. Greed isn't always those big guys. Are you wanting what you've earned or are you wanting what others earned?
