Money has a way of causing people to clam up.

The social dynamic changes when someone has a lot of money. No longer are they able to relate to the average person on the street. They live in a different world with different problems. Money also gives people a false sense of security. They think that because they have Money, they don't have to worry about the things that other people have to worry about. This is why rich people are so quiet.

They have everything they need and they don't feel the need to engage with the outside world. Money has made them self-sufficient and content. There is no reason for them to make small talk or engage in idle chatter. They can just sit back and enjoy their own company without feeling the need to reach out to others.

Money has given them the ability to be quiet and content in their own little world.Money has a way of quieting people.

The rich are often quieter than the poor because they have less to worry about. Money can buy you food, shelter, and security. It can also buy you freedom from want and fear. When you have enough money, you don't have to worry about where your next meal is coming from or whether you'll be able to pay your rent. You can live your life without worrying about financial insecurity. Money also buys you power and influence. If you have enough money, you can make the world bend to your will.

You can buy politicians,---------media outlets, and even entire countries. Money gives you a voice that can be heard above all others. The rich are quiet because they don't have to speak up to be heard. They can just write a check and get whatever they want. So the next time you see a wealthy person being quiet, don't think of it as rudeness. Just think of it as the sound of money talking.

Money can buy a lot of things, but one thing it can't buy is silence. In a city like New York, where noise is rampant, the rich often escape to the Hamptons or Maine to enjoy the peace and quiet. But for those who can't afford to get away, it's a struggle to find a moment of silence. The bourgeoisie are shielded by the hum of their central air, while the petite cousins have to deal with the roar of their window units. For the broke, it's a daily battle to find a moment of peace. But in spite of all the noise, there's one thing that money can't buy: silence. And that's something that we all need.

Money gives people the ability to insulate themselves from the outside world. They can buy quieter cars, houses in gated communities, and private schools for their children. They can also afford to take vacations to quiet places. This is why rich people are so quiet - they can afford to avoid noise.

Of course, not all rich people are quiet. Some people are just naturally introverted or prefer peace and quiet. But for those who can afford it, money provides the opportunity to escape the noise of the world.

Dr. Julia Barnett Rice, a physician, founded the Society for the Suppression of Unnecessary Noise in 1906. She believed that noise was unhealthy and set out to get something done about it. She enlisted the help of New York City's wealthy citizens (including Mark Twain) to lobby for things like rules governing steamboat whistles and silence pledges from children who played near hospitals.

Dr. Rice was successful in getting some laws passed, but she realised that money was the root of the problem. The rich could afford to insulate themselves from noise, while the poor had to suffer in silence. Dr. Rice continued to fight for quieter streets and neighbourhoods, but her dream of a society free from noise remains just that - a dream.

The Society’s activities ranged from the crusading (holding public hearings on the noise pollution caused by factories and trains) to the quixotic (offering a $100 prize for the quietest room in New York City). But its ultimate goal was always to make life easier and more pleasant for the moneyed few. Today, as we find ourselves bombarded with an ever-increasing din of car horns, construction equipment, and leaf blowers, it’s worth remembering that not all noise is created equal. Some of it, like Julia Barnett Rice believed, is simply unnecessary.

So , what do you think ? Next time if you get to meet a real wealthy guy , do ponder over these points !

Being Quiet and being in Silence are two seperate worlds. Being Quiet is a choice. Being Silent is a state you work towards.Noise which can be heard within thoughts needs to be checked before expressing them.Wealth is not currency alone- It has various facets. "Ashta Aishwaryalu" as they say in Sanskrit.(Health,Wealth, Peace, Prosperity, Grandchildren(family growth), Success(in what interests oneself), Longevity in life and Fame. The "Ahankaara" (Ego) displayed post acquiring the wealth above is kept in check by one's own "Karma Phalas" ( Result of one's actions in the past). It is wise to be humble when one is blessed with it.Being in gratitude for whatever you are blessed with and keeping faith in tough times is much needed.One may feel despair in tough times, but it is essential to remember, that everything is a passing phase.Just like good phases, tough phases too shall pass. We have to be mindful of our thoughts during those times and make an effort to keep negativity ( our dark thoughts) in check. After all we are all human and praying to the higher power to give us strength to keep the inner light shining is what we need to do, Partha!🙏
