The Misery of Being Rich
A rich old man made money through trade and lending, squeezing out every last penny, yet always pretended to dislike wealth and luxury.
One day, he complained to a friend, "Having lots of money is no use! The more you have, the more miserable you become."
His friend said, "Everyone I know wants money. Those with little want more, and those with a lot want even more. I've never heard anyone complain like you. If it makes you so miserable, why not share some with me?"
The rich man hastily refused. "Good heavens, I couldn't do that! My wealth already makes me miserable. How could I inflict that misery on you, too?"
