The sleep of a labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt. Ecclesiastes 5:12-13. (Bible). The Reddy’s suffering is sad, but directing to a great spiritual warning to us all in our unsatiable desire to amass too much wealth at the shortest time possible through any shortcuts. |
