Material wealth
I could…
... eat and drink as much as I want every day.
... carefree and enjoy my life in peace.
... buy me the most beautiful and expensive things.
... communicate with the most sublime and noble people in the world.
But it is always good ...
... to be sated and not to know about hunger?
... just to feel happiness and not to know about pain?
... to have everything you want and not to know about wishes?
... only to see the success and not to know about poverty?
Only he becomes good who knows both and calls all truth without lies!

I sometimes wish I could be cocooned from all the harsh realities of life. To not see or know about the suffering, poverty and war; it affects me a lot. But as you say, to know both is to be humble, and appreciate what we do have. Thought provoking piece :)
Well, it's the contradictions you find within yourself that hopefully make you finally recognize yourself. Because things are the way they are, you yourself built the contradiction, you could say, or you create the contradiction through your thoughts. a very complex (and endless) topic, indeed.
In any case, thank you for your very profound feedback and have a great day/evening :)
