The Irony Of Wealth

Verified by Emotional Intelligence Developer Community-written · Human experiences · Lived insight

Humans want to be rich. Even people who are deliberately poor because they see it as wealth.

The first irony is that wealth has no lower limit, let alone an upper limit. A person’s lifestyle does not always reflect his wealth; People with simple looks may be rich people and people who look stunning may be poor people.

The second irony is that wealth depends on feelings. There are people who have no possessions but are always grateful and there are people who are filled with abundant wealth but always feel lacking.

The third irony is that wealth is always inversely proportional to one’s and one’s own expectations of generosity to others; The richer the more generous that is to be expected, but the fact that many people are richer the further away their hearts and lives are from generosity.

The very rich man grieves when his wealth will be given to others because he has no mercy; People who have little wealth but generosity are the richest people in this world.

Those who give to the poor will lack nothing, but those who close their eyes to them receive many curses.

Proverbs 28:27
