Rather than Narrow-Minded, Mad, or Evil
According to wisdom of Jewish people, there are four types of human beings.
First, there is a type of those who think what they have is theirs and what others have is others'. The second type is of those who think that what they have is others' and what others have is theirs. The third type thinks what they have is others' and what others have is others'. The fourth-type people think that what they have is theirs and what others have is also theirs.
The first type is of mediocre or narrow-minded people. The second type is of those who are somewhat out of normalcy and soundness or, in other word, strange or mad. The third type is of those who are extremely ascetic or otherwise misguided. The fourth type is of those who are reckless, greed or evil.
When "others" in these expressions are replaced by the word "God," the context might a little change.
First, there is a type of those who think what they have is theirs and what God has is God's. The second type is of those who think that what they have is God's and what God has is theirs. The third type thinks what they have is God's and what God has is God's. The fourth-type people think that what they have is theirs and what God has is also theirs.
But, logically, scientifically, and religiously, what a man has is God's and what God has is God's, since every thing a man can have materially is made of atoms, elemental particles, or energy convertible to elemental particles or material while they all under laws of the nature created and set by the God.
The key in this analysis is the notion that nothing is ours and everything is God's. But if "what they have" in these expression are replaced with "money," the truth can be more clearly understood.
First, there is a type of those who think money they have is theirs and money God has is God's. The second type is of those who think that money they have is God's and money God has is theirs. The third type thinks money they have is God's and money God has is God's. The fourth-type people think that money they have is theirs and money God has is also theirs.
Put extremely, a man tends to think that all money whoever has must be his own. In the case, he will not mind if "whoever" includes the God or he would include the God in "whoever."
However, from the beginning, we should ask if the God has any money or if all money belongs to Satan. Yet, put extremely, a man tends to want money if money is created, distributed and governed by Satan.
At least, according to the Bible, we should not have more than 30 silver coins. God might have created 29 silver coins, but it must be Satan that created the 30th silver coin.
Finally, it is safe for us to try to be ascetic even if misguided rather than narrow-minded, mad, or evil.

Luke 10 King James Version
19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven.
