The Poorer, The More Blessed
There are six billion to seven billion people in this world, though their lives can be categorized into hundreds or so types.
Of course, there is a type of life called one for authors, writers and leading intellectuals. And sometimes their lives have nothing to do with those of ordinary people. Some very successful or popular authors don't know any ways of living other than those for elite members of society. Yet they try to teach something to ordinary readers.
They are like rabbis or teachers of the Law who were active 2000 years ago when Christ Jesus was alive as a human being. If such elite members of a society could comprehend truth of the world and man, Christ Jesus should have first tried to get His disciples from those intellectuals of the era. But in fact our Savior went out to communities of ordinary people to select some of them as His disciples.
It is rather a wonder that such biased elite members of society can write an insightful work handling humanity and human dramas.
But in most cases, reversely, those high-ranking authors and professors wonder, when reading some writings by poor people, that such low-key people can have such insightful views on humanity and human dramas.
Those elite authors and cultural figures tend to think that the poorer a man is, the more inept he is. They think that a poor man in the poor street cannot understand difficult and deep meaning of religion, philosophy, and literature.
But, the life itself is school of higher education. What poor people need is a good teacher like Christ Jesus. With love from Christ Jesus, a poor fisherman could grow up mentally to be the first Pope, the top leader even in the cultural domain.
Finally if a poor man can be more easily admitted for Heaven, he is more blessed than a rich and intellectual person.
