Richness is Like Magic

It like a miracle just having more than enough that money can buy.  A person can be materially rich with a great deal of earthly possessions.  He can have more money that he does know what to do with it.  He may own numerous properties in the wealthiest parts of town and still he keeps building to his inheritance.  Believe it or not, this is only one type of richness.  In this piece an attempt will be made to touch on other types of richness which in some ways have appeared by hard work, dramatically, or rather naturally.

Valuable works

When a person thinks about valuable works that are rich, he may often wonder how humans were able to perform such tasks.

Yet, like magic, they appear through the hands of Michelangelo, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Picasso.  A person cannot begin to put a price on their ability in creating works that demonstrate their elaborate workmanship like a David or the detailed painting in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

Some of these creative aspects about life were expressed during the era that stretches back to the days of the Pharaohs of Egypt with the wonderment of the pyramids.  Some view with awe the architecture during the Renaissance, marvel at Elizabethan gardens, and present day sky scrapers that rise up to grace the heavens.  

The magic in foods

Some foods are abundant.  Others may be scarce but have constituents of choice ingredients of creams, fats, spices, and sugars that make them especially delicious.  They are fish, fowl, and meats prepared with wine that bring these foods to the flavor that we all like so much.  Whether they are American, Italian, Chinese, or Indian dishes, they have cultivated a distinct reputation for connoisseurs, or those on a night out in town celebrating a birthday or anniversary.  Such luxurious meals are sumptuous and lend themselves to a rich banquet preceded with appetizers.  It is not unusual for a gathering to sample some of the finest wines and liqueurs during these priceless moments.

The richness of a voice

At some restaurants it is not only the food but the richness of a voice of a singer that turns the patrons on.  It may be that a person may have to go to a club to enjoy some of the music of the giants that have passed us by, like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Mahalia Jackson, John Lennon, and  the recently deceased Whitney Houston.  These singers are known for their full deep and mellow voices.  Their words are sung with such intensity and they make images vivid in our mind.  They bring out the fragrance of life within us.  These individuals are naturally talented and were born with this rare gift as a singer, showman, and entertainer.

Some even refer to this magic of the rich when nations extract gold, diamond, cobalt, silver, and oil from the earth.  Saudi Arabia is extremely rich in oil.  Some nations with plentiful natural resources are able to live in a grand way while paying workers high wages.  Their opulence could be seen in all things, e.g., the homes in which they live, cars they drive, etc.  Despite these things, their lives may not be as easy as it seems, since they may have to pay dearly for all sort of services because of a lack of infra structure.  One good thing is, they can afford to do so.
