How does your richness or poverty affects love or determines its expression, Man? The nature of love is in the abstract which is neither ascribed to richness or poverty but to contentment and contentment not arising out of the consideration of worldly acquirements but from the innermost depth of the heart.
The heart itself is composed of the in, inner and innermost depths. The in part of the heart is it that interacts with the physical world, filled with experiences. It reacts by feelings to the perceptual experiences of touch, sight, sound, smell, taste and intuition in the physical world. The inner part of the heart is partially filled and derived feelings through conception of such things as values, norms, principles, ethics, aspirations while the innermost heart is like a void yearning for essence and from the contemplation of the mystical through philosophy and spirituality. It develops feelings such as faith, hope and love. The human heart beginning from childhood develops in that order.
Between the border extremes of richness and poverty, at the mid point is contentment. Whereas the greatest expression of love can only be exuded by him ( the rich or poor ) who has the capability of contentment; for those who are not satisfied with themselves or what they have cannot make others satisfied.
Richness is but a grain of corn and poverty a forest of wheat in the eyes of love. He who has love, has the world as his own. Colui che ha amore, ha il mondo come la propria!
In poverty, the poor man whose attention is often concentrated on his condition shall despair; even the beauty and virtue of his wife which all men admire shall be lost to foresight. Per disperazione in condizioni di povertà in sé è una rivolta contro l’ abbondanza in amore. To despair in poverty itself is a revolt against the abundance in love. What wealth can one possess that is greater than the possession of love? What gift can one give that is greater than the giving of love? Of all gifts on earth and in heaven, only love gives life. Faith is believing in life, Hope is the assurance of life but it is Love that actually gives life!
Wealth does not buy love, it rather buys the influence of fame and authority. Men align with the rich not often genuinely for the liking of their person but what they may stand to gain from the person. Men who advance their riches for the purchase of lovers often purchase Beguilers. Look closely at the love life of some rich and see how it is fraught with intrigues because that love and beauty are sold as possession, whereas love is priceless and beauty is in the heart. But if it is the rich would know that God gave them riches to engage and distribute in love to the poor and not instead to purchase the love of the poor with their riches. And so, better to give not your coin out so that you may be loved, but give it out because you love. Happy is the man whose fortune has not pervert the heart of love.
Love is so cheap that the tramp in the street has a wealth of it as much as the plutocrat but the problem is in sharing of it. For the true values of love are in its features that are unseen. What has the beggar to show for being loved with his ugly physique and being immersed in dirt? Whereas the rich has a fine physique and surrounded with alluring possessions deserve every love. But then, the filth of a beggar is more bearable than the tyranny of a good looking despot.
Even then, the source of love is priceless and does not require an exchange for possession. Love is given for no cost and so no possession, influence, handwork or nature is its determinant. Love transcends all that exist. Reasons are not to be advance forth in order to love, hardly conditions there are that should warrant love; love must proceed from the heart like Guaira Falls. Better not to be loved than to be loved out of situation. Love a man because he is the image and likeness of God and not because he is rich or poor. Love is not subject to the status of man. Amore non è soggetta allo status di uomo!
Giving is not the only means of loving for the rich has in abundance to give. Patience, care, dedication are as much efficacious to loving. Even then, to give out of abundance is not much of loving as to give and then to suffer the lack of what has been given. Even as men thought of love to be in giving and receiving, picnicking; pleasure trip, get together, think not these are mere fantasies of love? The rich it is who have the means and the poor may have the leisure without the means. But love in reality entails denial, long-suffering, sacrifice and having contentment in the absence of all fantasies.
The poor man sometimes may not have the woman he cherish when she does not consent because that he is poor. Consider then she is not the best to be loved. She readily give herself to one of the kind of a wealthy man who in taking stock of his possessions counted his structures, goods, goats, chickens and his wife together with them. The cares of the rich is on his riches, the poor man’s only value is his companion if the former is above and the latter is within moderation. They who sell their love for mere material benefit has less value as may be thought, for love itself is preciously priceless. Therefore the kind of love they offer is that without efficacy. Sub-standard goods attract not the best buyers. A virtuous woman desire the best lover and not the best bidder. Is it not a heart that feels the good of what its owner has? If a man or woman sells his or heart for money, where is the heart then with which he or she shall feel the good of or enjoy the money? If you think your heart is invaluable, then no other value except a valuable heart can exchange for it! Se pensate che il tuo cuore è prezioso, quindi nessun altro valore ad eccezione di un valido cuore può scambiare per questo!
The measure of love between richness and poverty is balanced on the scale only if the weight of richness does not make the owner become grandiloquent and the weight of poverty does not make its bearer despondent. It is not wise to say, if i have the means, i will show great love. The Maker of man has not made any with the advantage to love more than the other. The rich are to dispense love by engaging and helping the necessitous and the poor are to extend love by commitment to service, much more than these; all together for the well being and happiness of mankind.
Richness affords its owner comfort and poverty affords its bearer modesty but it is through love the heart is satisfied. Comfort and modesty does not assure satisfaction. Even as beautiful and emollient a rose is, behold it has thorns. Love is not rich, love is not poor. Neither is love’s descriptor or signifier but are conditions created by man and by the forces of nature he cannot conquer. Love is not an existence engendered by man or by the forces of natural accident. Poverty and richness are only conditions of being in the state of influence. They are not strong determinants of physique and character which are important to love. We should therefore avoid to say, the rich are very handsome and cool temper or the poor are sickly and stingy.
Se l’ anima di uomo soffre la povertà, è il peggio miseria di tutte le creature e meglio che egli non è stato nato al mondo. uomo ricco, lasciare che amano essere le vendite casa della vostra ricchezza, senza questo si deve perdere loro e essere più poveri di tutte le creature! povero, perché lasciate che il vostro povertà sottomettere l’ amore avete per mostrare. Non hai sapere che con amore, si sono più ricche di tutte le creature!
The most hazardous of richness and worst of poverty is the lack of love!
