Wealth is a false concept
The concept of wealth is false in that we can only be wealthy relative to other people. We cannot be objectively wealthy because this has no meaning. We can be poor because we can be lacking in certain things... but if we have everything we want this is not wealth since it the absence of desire. It is only 'wants' which can be measured and observed we cannot measure the amount of desires which have been satiated only those which remain. We are only poor (in different ways)... we are never rich.
