Chapter 56 a rich man

He made irresponsible remarks about the rich.Once I asked him, "Sir, how can I gain peace of mind?" He told me to give wealth to the poor and follow him. But he has nothing, so he doesn't understand that wealth can bring confidence and freedom, and he doesn't understand the majesty and self-esteem of having wealth. There are one hundred and forty servants in my house, some of whom work in my groves and vineyards, and some command my armies on long voyages. Now if I give wealth to the poor according to what he said, what will happen to my powerful servants, servants, and their wives and children?Surely they would be reduced to wandering beggars at the city gates, in the porticoes of the temples.

no.This good man does not know the secret of wealth.He and his disciples live by the gifts of others, and he wants all to live in this way. It is a real contradiction, a conundrum: Should the rich give their property to the poor?Must the poor get the cup and bread of the rich before welcoming others to the table? Does the owner of the tower have to entertain his employees before he can call himself the owner of his territory? Ants who store food for winter are wiser than those who sing and starve all day long. On the last Sabbath, one of his disciples said in the street market: No one is qualified to pillow on the threshold where Jesus put straw sandals in the kingdom of heaven. "

But I want to ask: On the threshold of whose house can this honest vagabond put straw sandals?He had never had a home or fir himself, and he often couldn't even fit in straw sandals when he walked.
