Letter to My Rich Friend

"A Letter to My Rich Friend" is not just a personal reflection, but also a broader commentary on the unseen dynamics that exist between friends of different economic backgrounds. This book emerged from numerous moments of reflection-those quiet times when the differences between us became starkly clear, not in an accusatory way, but in a manner that requires deeper understanding. Through the communication between two friends in these letters, we aimed to initiate a dialogue that is often difficult to start.
Friendship, when examined through the lens of privilege and disparity, reveals complexities that are not always easy to navigate. It's not that we can't love or support one another, but that sometimes, the realities we live in create unspoken barriers. The purpose of this book is to offer a voice to those emotions that are rarely shared but often felt-resentments we don't dare admit, feelings of isolation within close bonds, and the weight of financial disparity in relationships.
A friend with spiritual gifts cannot accept for his friend to go astray and lose the meaning and purpose of life, which is to serve others instead of our desire. These letters, although deeply personal, form a novel that is written for anyone who has experienced a similar divide in their relationships. It is for the friends who feel left out, and for those who, knowingly or not, stand on the other side of privilege.
I hope this book encourages honesty, fosters understanding, and ultimately strengthens the bonds we hold dear.
