- 2. Preface • Once someone asked Rockefeller how to make him satisfied with his money, he said he made more money, so he didn't think his current wealth was sufficient. Chinese people also say that human beings are dead for money, and birds are dying for food, but how can there be appropriate wealth? A person can draw a profit throughout his life, but when he dies, he can't bring a penny. Rich people will never stop pursuing wealth until the day of death. From this, we can know that it was God created. Therefore, we can know from the Bible to know that if we want to be happy and satisfied, having joy, wealth is definitely not a correct path. We should be content with all our wealth that we can feed and clothing, but we should focus on spiritual pursuits. A383
