The Difference Between Wealth And Riches

By Gregory Williams


It is common to have the two words used interchangeably. However, they mean two different worlds that are subtly distinguished. Wealth and riches are differentiated by the state of being when one acquires one and also the process of acquisition. Possession is also a differentiating factor, but these assets differ in each of the two cases.

Wealthy persons are said to enjoy satisfaction in life. Whatever a wealthy man has as his assets, he is very contented and glad about life. He also does not lust or thirst for other possessions and is not in competition with anyone for them. In fact, bank balances and possessions do not count a great deal when the wealthy are being classified.

There is an aura of satisfaction and greater good around wealthy persons. Some of their possessions include strong networks that support their operations and existence. There is a long term relationships and focus when one is referring to the possessions of a wealthy person. This is why wealthy persons are not necessarily the richest. They have reliable partners and relationships that support their status. This is the source of their satisfaction. Material assets are just a part of their possessions.

Humanity is pushed to gravitate towards being rich instead of wealthy. Wealth is self sustaining in that a person can live long depending and tapping on his networks. Wealth is difficult to wipe out because it is based on knowledge and relationships. This is why catastrophes and disasters cannot wipe out a wealthy person. However, a rich man can be turned into a pauper because of such occurrences.

The measure for richness is your material possessions. It is what you own or have acquired that determines whether you are rich or not. This is why one can turnout to be rich in a day and poor on the other. Further, you do not require the support networks to be rich. Moreover, one can quantify your richness in dollars or material property. Being rich will also depend on the people around you and what they own.

The rich do not necessarily have to rely on networks to attain such a status. Some are rich yet live in neighborhoods that are ravaged by poverty. In such cases, the rich man is not having an impact on the lives of people around him. This is a recipe for loneliness and likely to cause conflict. It also denies the subject the peace he requires to enjoy his possessions.

Undoubtedly, it is important and even good to be rich. However, the desire of every human being should be to pursue the status of being wealthy. This means that your absence will impact the people you are living with and so will your presence. It is these people who support you the minute things fail to turnout as you would desire. This will give you the desired life of contentment.

The basic requirement for being wealthy is to have meaningful relationships, be knowledgeable and build strong networks. These are the pillars that hold you up when you are facing turbulence in life and give meaning to life when you rise with others. The wealthy enjoy a sustained status and have an impact on the society around them.
