Value —from the Proverbs of Tharmas Erthona

[milo]

"The poor have nothing -
the rich want."

Seems love and happiness might be commodities the rich seem lacking in and that the poor, surprisingly have more of. Certainly money does not make one happy, in fact it often leads to the opposite.

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of the needle, than it is for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."  --the Bible somewhere

If you read it as written, it is actually 2 statements.

1.  The poor have nothing.
2. The rich want.

It is irony.
