The typical suburban home is actually built for a nuclear family with at least two or more children. Yet we see some McMansions with thousands of square feet of living space, and five bedrooms and bathrooms, being owned and lived in by childless couples. At some level, this seems a bit insane. Yet it is almost becoming the norm now. The defense is that the home is not just a dwelling, but an investment. Contrast all these underutilized investments with the growing and overwhelming homeless problem in this country, and one standing back from it all has to think, “There must be a better way!” What is Creator’s perspective on all of this?

When you compare and contrast lifestyles and living arrangements and the examples of the haves versus the have-nots in your world, it is all too often the case people view it simplistically as some people being privileged while others are disadvantaged, that some people who are better off somehow have taken advantage and have an unfair head start or are given special privileges denied to others, so their wealth and seeming extravagance is perceived as unfair and may be undeserved, and is often used as a political lever to rouse masses of people to follow a political agenda promising greater equality and a redistribution of wealth. Such ideas inevitably have ended up in requiring enforcement through force of arms. Here again is further evidence of great imbalance in the culture and in human interrelationships at all levels. This is seen to because you are so heavily influenced by evil overseers who set up hierarchical systems of governance and workplace environments that are inhuman in many basic respects and will create many inequities, many types of unfairness, and those distortions will often become magnified over time. All nations with class distinctions in their population are products of this kind of manipulation and the damage is apparent in the creation of tension and resentments, as so many become excluded from having a place at the table, so to speak, in sharing the bounty that comes from a smooth-running nation-state that has developed a degree of advanced technological capability for manufactured goods and services. In a loving world, that would simply ensure there would be abundance enough for all, but yet this has resulted in the same old hierarchy of inequities where power and control and the profits go to the top of the hierarchy and those making the contributions through their own efforts and inconvenience oftentimes are poorly rewarded. If things are uneven and unequal, it will make it more likely that everything about the lives of those individuals will be wanting in some respect. What they have in the way of personal possessions and their living environment especially, will be limited and will be shabby in some respects, will be second-rate and unsatisfying to some degree. Poverty flows from a poverty of ideas as much as anything else, given the intelligence of the human species and the creative potential to apply ingenuity for problem-solving. It is not that you lack genius, it is that you lack freedom. Humanity is greatly constrained. When it is the hierarchy that is rewarded rather than achievement, things will get out of balance. Power, control, and profits flow to the top then, without an equal sharing of rewards commensurate with contributions. This is simply the persistence of the idea of slaves and slave masters, such that even when slavery is outlawed people still live as slaves, albeit with some greater mobility to move from job to job, but they will always remain underlings to the powers that be—that will not change because your overseers do not want it to. This will only change with divine help.
