I have seen a lot of amazing things in life and this actually is NOT the most expensive Scotch Whiskey I have ever seen. However this ONE bottle tagged at $35k is worth as much as a nice car!  

For some people more than a years salary......

For this reason I find my self in inner conflict as to if this is a waste of money or not....

I love Scotch and I love fine quality aspects of life. This Scotch would surely be such. Yet it is also amazing how someone could consume $32,000 worth of a beverage in the matter of days or hours and yet millions of people around the globe are without food or shelter.  

Yet again we find the paradox of life. I would LOVE to drink this Scotch and have a great conversation. I would appreciate it and surely enjoy it.  Scotch is one of my favorite drinks and how special it would be to taste a 1950 whiskey.  What an experience it would be to taste Scotch that was made before I was born. For that I would be grateful.

I also respect anyone who is successful enough to afford $32k Scotch. My congrats and I do believe that its ok to be rich, have nice things and spend money.  I also don't believe money is bad, in truth it could solve many of the worlds problems instead of create more. Just depends on how it is used really. 

Yet at $1,000+ a shot I would rather feed an entire family in India for 1,000 days. 

I feel that until everyone has basic shelter, food and well being we need to dedicate more of our excessive abundance to building sustainable infasructure to achieve this very thing. Let us celebrate fine things in life by helping others have the opportunity to as well. 

I don't believe in feeding a man a fish to then feed a fish every day forever. I don't believe in perpetual welfare or even mandatory taxes on anyone let alone the rich. 

Though I do believe in providing opportunity for people to actually have a peaceful, abundant and happy life, even if very simple. Anyone who wants to be "wealthy" should have to be responsible for that, it takes a lot to run successful businesses and or make and keep a lot of money. For someone who works hard and contributes great value, deserves to be compensated and enjoy the "fruits" of these contributions. 

The truth is, we have more than enough of everything. The problem is misuse.  The majority of wealth and resources on earth are hoarded and wasted.  The prime example is; just one years of the US military budget could feed every hungry person on earth for a year, if invested in sustainable permaculture, food forestry etc, it could feed billions of people for hundreds of years. 

Yes its that simple, and that complex~*~

As always I am powering up, appreciating your support and welcoming your feedback!
