Rich Man,Poor Man

Gratification..the rich man's pleasure
  respect the poor man's measure
Greed ..the rich man's treasure
  work the poor man's leisure
Envy..the rich man's measure
  simplicity  the poor man's pleasure
Hedonism..the rich man's leisure
  contentment  the poor man's treasure

Such is the way life seems to be. It is sad to say, I would much rather be poor. For he is by far, the richer man. Love, Shar
