I provided a great couple of stanzas rejecting material wealth why are you not addressing those instead of cherrypicking?
You did not
The stanzas you presented in no way show any rejection of material wealth as unclean
Can you scroll or is your mouse broken?
I read the entire poem
In what way do you feel those stanzas suggest material wealth was considered unclean
Furthermore, even assuming that it did (which it does not)
HE DID NOT???? BITCH I SAT HERE AND WATCHED HIM TYPE IT đ AND SEND IT
The historical record entirely dismisses that absurd idea
AND if you want my own cherry picked mythological point
Odinâs ring is gold, all the Norse gods measure power in material wealth
The entire saga of the dwarves crafting things in competition is about the glory of material wealth
HĂĄvĂĄmal:
10:
A better burden can no man bear
on the way than his mother wit;
'tis the refuge of the poor, and richer it seems
than wealth in a world untried.
58.
He must rise betimes who fain of another
or life or wealth would win;
scarce falls the prey to sleeping wolves,
or to slumberers victory in strife.
59.
He must rise betimes who hath few to serve him,
and see to his work himself;
who sleeps at morning is hindered much,
to the keen is wealth half-won.
77.
Full-stocked folds had the Fatling's sons,
who bear now a beggar's staff:
brief is wealth, as the winking of an eye,
most faithless ever of friends.
78.
If haply a fool should find for himself
wealth or a woman's love,
pride waxes in him but wisdom never
and onward he fares in his folly.
wsan't there a trinket that made endless coins
How does this not say material possession bad
Okay so in the end you do acknowledge that you were wrong in saying I linked no poems, because now you're saying that I did

That is a poem you dumb fuck
Ok, letâs go stanza by stanza
Where do you believe
That says that wealth is unclean?
10: Tis the refuge of the poor to bear his mother's wit. And it is better than all the wealth in the world
You quite literally said âyou did notâ when he said âI provided a great couple of stanzasâ
Are you following? good
Ok, and what do you feel that says?
Letâs see if you can follow
Lol she said you didn't provide stanzas that make the point you're trying to make, not that you didn't provide stanzas at all
You guys are pretty dumb
Or trolling?
I want you to try to type in plain English what you think that stanza is saying
It's explicitly said. Mother's wit: natural ability to cope with everyday matters; common sense.
No, heâs a legit anti-Semite
And that it is better than all of the world's wealth
Mhm, and what is it saying about a motherâs wit?
Correct
Now
Mother's wit: natural ability to cope with everyday matters; common sense.
What part of that suggests that wealth is unclean
having a loving wife is nice, doesn't mean having a ferrari isn't awesome
If you were arguing Christianity you would have a point- wealth is definitely unclean in Christianity
For Norse paganism itâs an absolutely absurd claim
