Who is rich? He that rejoices in his portion.

Summary

This quote emphasizes that true richness is not measured by material wealth, but by finding contentment and joy in the resources and blessings one possesses. It suggests that being "rich" is relative and subjective; those who can appreciate and be grateful for what they have are the ones who truly experience richness. It encourages individuals to find fulfillment and happiness in the present moment and appreciate the abundance within their own lives, rather than constantly seeking external validation or comparisons with others.
