People invest in the stock market because they think they could earn money. But if that's the only thing needed to be successful, everybody would be successful. What's different from you and Warren Buffett, given you have the same amount of money to start with, is not the money or the willingness to invest, but the knowledge.
The SAF massacre, the ISIS problem in the middle east, the debate of different religions, of different opposing political views are just a product of ignorance. Conflict arises because one party does not fully understand the body of knowledge that one party possess and vice versa.
Science and religion debate will never end, because priests, imams and pastors does not know shit about science. So one party thinks that their body of knowledge is more important and thus creating ignorance and conflict.
Same thing with the conflict of different religion, one religion thinks their religion is better, without having knowledge of other religion deep enough to understand them, creates ignorance and conflict.
Politicians participating in the investigation on the SAF massacre will never find the truth nor solve this problem because the investigation is spending so much time knowing how the PNP, MILF, BIFF and Military operates. Politicians does not have that deep knowledge about military or police operation to as to come up with a solution fast enough to this problem. Let alone elect senators who didn't went to school and won just by charisma.
In a way, knowledge can solve conflict. And knowledge comes from an open mind. When the time comes when you ask yourself "Is this belief true?" challenging your most held belief like religion, accepting it if it is wrong, is the time when you have opened your mind and wisdom has been attained.
There will be no need to voice out your opinion, because in a way, opinion does not matter. Only control. There is no need to join protest rally to raise your salary (voicing out opinion) when you can just invest, start a business (control) to have control of your salary.

3 Rules of Making Money
#1 - Invest
Money makes more money. If you don't have money at first, then trade your time for money. But ultimately, it is money working for you to get more money that you want to aim for. Investing is spending money that you know will pay back in the future with profit.
#2 - Protect Your Wealth
Once you made money, you should protect it. And I'm not talking about just money. Protect your wealth, health, property, family, relationships and reputation. These are all important. When people around you, know that you earn a lot of money, they will become like moths attracted to a candle. You should know when to say 'No' especially to the hard situations like people asking money for their sick relatives, mother, father, baby.
#3 - Give it Away
When you've made enough money that its so abundant you could live in any way you like and still have a lot of it left over... give it away. Help people. Start a foundation, a charity.
