So what the author is doing

Where does it explicitly say that wealth is good?

That's your claim now

something can be worth more without somethign else being a negative

I want evidence for that

Is saying “actually, here’s a bunch of things that are better! A mother’s wit, a friend’s love”

my mom is dead, i wish I could bring her back and would give up all my money to do it, but ideally, i'd like both

This is implicit

This is the point of the poem

It’s the entire reason it’s written

Yea I found it

He’s listing off the simple joys of life

andvaranaut

And saying look, these things are better than wealth

```ANDVARANAUT: THE MAGICAL RING THAT MADE GOLD IN NORSE MYTHOLGY
```

The parenthetical statement, which you have to have some semblance of critical thinking to understand

Is (because we all know wealth is awesome)

It’s the conceit of the entire poem

Go read the Wikipedia article for fuck’s same

Some crazy shit in norse mythology

Take a class

Learn something

```In some versions of the story, hero Sigurd later encounters the Valkyrie Brynhild who was punished by Norse God Odin. Sigurd marries her, using the Andvaranaut as a promise ring.

```

Now that we’ve debunked that retarded nonsense

And what does aversion to wealth in face of simpler things in life translate to when in the context of unethical practices that sacrifice the family and the tribe for money?

Exactly, reject of material wealth

What do you think it is about Jews that gives them this ability in business?

you don't have to sacrifice the tribe for money, it' sjust a priority list

Is it from genetics? Religion?

```brief is wealth, as the winking of an eye,
most faithless ever of friends.```

Material wealth = False friend

Lol

Yes honey, we covered that

```Diamonds are a girl's best friend```

It’s talking about he simple pleasures of life

Do you not understand the poem?

No, why don't you read?

false friends are also false friends, that can cheat you out of money

Do you sincerely think that this was a guy who just sat down and wrote a list of things that are good?

It is a **false friend**, a deceiver.

Yes, it is a statement challenging the conventional wisdom
