Being rich is also in some ways caused by both luck and systems; economic and political. But, the life of the poor is far different from the way the rich live on.
Every moment is a misery. Every second of time passes by with a tortured moment of dire unhappiness; a moment of struggling to feed the hungry stomach. It is a moment only to fulfill the need of not being hungry. It is a time to seek a little food to swallow for a little power to preserve the body in order to stand up and walk. And, with little power left the poor walk to seek food for that day. Tomorrow is another day of seeking another way to feed themselves. It is the saga of the poor.
On the other hand, the rich live in a great way an state of enjoyment. Life is a celebration of life itself. Every moment of life is a search of question on how to enjoy the life. It is a question of how rather than what to eat; it is about how you want to choose the way to fulfill the hunger for fulfilling the desires to the hedonism. Life is a move from one party to another. Life for the rich is a fiesta from a place to another distance place. Life is a celebration of seeking higher and higher happiness; both in its quality and its ways.
