DON'T Get Lost In The Sauce

DON'T Get Lost In The Sauce

So sorry sirrrrrs, today's piece is not into the culinary.  It's just a subtle reminder that we DON'T Get Lost In The Sauce at any point in time in our life when we are at the peak of fame, money, power or success all rolled into one.  This is our #1 human frailty [and we are NOT immune from this] because this is all about our achilles heel which has caused untold setbacks to us all [regardless of your calling or even standing in society]📕📗📘

In particular, MONEY leading us often to a combination of fame, affluence and/pro power, several sociological studies have shown that wealth may be at odds with EMPATHY and COMPASSION.  Before I get bashed by the higher tier of society, the same studies show that people of lower economic status were much better at reading others' facial expressions than wealthier people.  Huh❓❓❓

It seems that a lot of what we see is a baseline orientation for the lower class to be more emphatic and the upper class to be less so.  The same studies explained that lower-class individuals have to respond chronically to a number of vulnerabilities and social threats.  It's like you really need to depend on others so they will tell you if a social threat or opportunity is coming and that makes you more perceptive of emotions📌📌📌

And this one hurts.  Studies claim that 'WEALTH CAN CLOUD MORAL JUDGMENT and indeed, it does NOT surprise us that wealth may cause a sense of moral entitlement.  Another critical study tells us that merely thinking about money could lead one to unethical behavior.  The Harvard Research further claims that even if we're well-intentioned, even if we think we know RIGHT from WRONG, there may be factors influencing our decisions and behaviors that we're not aware of💊💊💊

Mother of all surprises, studies claim that "WEALTH HAS BEEN LINKED TO ADDICTION".  While money itself doesn't cause addiction or substance abuse, wealth has been linked with a higher susceptibility to addition problems.  Same studies even claim that affluent children are more vulnerable to substance abuse issues [potentially because of high pressure to achieve and isolation from parents].  Indeed, these horror stories can go on and on but nothing is lost and late for us to ensure we DON'T Get Lost In The Sauce, regardless of fame, finance or power we may have in life❗❗❗
