According to this chapter, there is something that unites the rich and the poor: the lack of sleep; in the rich, because of their desire to grow their wealth, and in the poor, because they worry about their livelihood. Is this God’s will? Of course not. Wealth can be as dehumanizing as it traps people and makes them crave possessions, just as poverty dehumanizes by reducing people to surviving. God does not want either of these extremes, and neither is part of His plan. Human greed has disrupted the harmony and plan that God desires, leading to these two extremes visible in our world today.
