“Life is a Dream for the Wise, a Game for the Fool, a Comedy for the Rich, a Tragedy for the Poor.”

Did you know that no one in the entirety of existence is poor?
The words “rich” and “poor” are constructs similar to the word “race,” and well — all words.
All words are made up, but not all words have valid meanings or reasons for existing, except to misinform and confuse; such as “race,” the deceptive replacement of one’s true “nationality.”
Colors of skin are not places of origin, birth, or heritage.
Therefore, there is no such thing as a “race,” other than either a “species,” or an “athletic competition.”
Thus, the only meaning these words (“rich, poor”) carry are rendered by our own judgement and ridicule of others.
You, see?
Not all words require our belittling of others, but because they are constructs of our reality we almost immediately cast (caste) judgement, both consciously and unconsciously/subconsciously.
