Land - where are thou?

A lot of people claim to have land yet they are poor. Others have little or no land and yet are rich. Some people keep land for their children but their children migrate to towns and have no interest in going back to the land.There are others who have land with titles and quickly dispose of the land for fast money and later become landless themselves.Those who do not have titles to their land are blaming others for it but never themsleves for hoarding and keeping the land idle.

Some others believe land is there forever and you will never lose it.WRONG! Today's land have similar properties to sugar and salt.They attract people who will quarrel, fight and go into war over land disputes - either too much or too little of it causes WAR! The moment the land is open for development - disputes will spread in all dimensions - each claiming and encroaching into the other boundaries. Big land seventaully become small parcels because others encroach into yours. The weak ones even lose their land altogether - disappearing into thin air. No land development - no disputes and no disputes - nobody bothers about boundaries.
