Correct, because only by having money can most people understand the situation. You've proven this yourself by calling it "a load".

Zen monks have attained this understanding without the need to make the money first however.






No, you cannot make the comparison between having money and not having money if you have never not had money. If you have always had money, you have never known the difficulty of living without it.

I never read any of the comments here as belittling what it is to be poor.

It reads to me as being critical of the assumption that being rich makes you happy.

This is reflected by many people who became rich and self destructive.
