A righteous rich man takes care of the poor for he knows and acknowledges the fact that both the poor and the rich; God created them all and makes them so. His wealth is to complement the lack of the poor for a balance in nature. He freely gives to the poor for he knows that he cannot transport any material things of this world to Heaven, and neither would he have need for them in Heaven. For his wealth is of the Lord. Whereas the unrighteous rich man abhors and is afraid of the poor for he knows and acknowledges the fact that his wealth/riches is at the expense of the poor; for he has so stolen from the poor and is ever afraid that the poor he has bereft would one day take back whatever he has stolen from them. And so will do everything humane and inhumanely possible to perpetuate himself as a rich man and ensures that he forever impoverishes the poor to maintain the status quo. For his wealth is of this world. It is for this that the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. Therefore, this I know that there are two kinds of wealth/riches: the self-acquired wealth and the God-given wealth. God-given wealth is by default while the self-acquired wealth is by choice. This is where one can chose to be rich or poor. It is difficult to choose to be rich and yet remain righteous, for the wealth/riches so acquired are taken by force of any means at the expense of others.
