What You Give, You Will Recieve x

I have been looking into the law of attraction, this is something talked about in mainstream books such as 'The secret' & 'The power', there are also many other books and religions referencing the theory. The theory surrounds a rule of what you give, you will receive. The secret add's that to give positivity, you will receive positivity and vice versa. The power add's that to give love you will receive love and vice versa. A friend raised a valid point, testing the theory;

How can the theory be true if people with alot of money, who dont appreciate what they have, still keep the benefits of there success?

The rule says that if you want something then you are to think of that thing like it has already happened, feel the emotions you would feel and act how you would act if you had it; if you believe something without doubt and give love then you will receive it.
Successful people who don't appreciate what they have don't see a world without the benefits of there success, they were either born into such blessings or at one time or another they have had to give love to achieve, otherwise they would spend there time and energy on something else and it simply couldn't happen.
Once Blessing's are gained Ignorance can become a reality, ignorance defined by Shakespeare; 'The fault unknown is as a thought unacted'. If someone doesn't think of a world without there success then they are not sending out those thoughts to the universe, they are not giving out that specificly related negative energy, or expressing those type of messages, and therefore they can not receive a world without there success (refer back to the example of what you give you recieve if you have trouble understanding this,(give love, recieve love and vice versa) if you are not giving anything then you can not recieve anything), but, it is a fragile way to keep hold of success. 'Ignorance is like a delicate exotic fruit; touch it and the bloom is gone' -Oscar Wild. The only protection they have over there success is ignorance. On top of that the negativity that they are giving out, they will receive and the lack of appreciation they give out, they will receive. The answer is always to act through love. It is the only way to live a full and content life.
