We all know that, when there are no clouds, the sky has a bluish colour, which we refer to as “sky blue”. This is because it is a mixture of blue, indigo and violet colours. But did you know that the sky really has no colour? In fact, outside of the earth’s atmosphere, the sun is white and the sky is dark; it is colourless!

SCARCITY MENTALITY

May 27, 2021

Just a little bit more! This was John D. Rockefeller's response to the journalist who inquired about how much money is enough. And this unexpected view from a person that controlled much of the oil industry in the 19th and 20th Centuries reflects the core of humanity and the state of the heart of man.
