I provided a great couple of stanzas rejecting material wealth why are you not addressing those instead of cherrypicking?

2019-12-06 19:50:05 UTC  

You did not

2019-12-06 19:50:19 UTC  

The stanzas you presented in no way show any rejection of material wealth as unclean

2019-12-06 19:50:22 UTC  

Can you scroll or is your mouse broken?

2019-12-06 19:50:54 UTC  

I read the entire poem

2019-12-06 19:51:08 UTC  

In what way do you feel those stanzas suggest material wealth was considered unclean

2019-12-06 19:51:31 UTC  

Furthermore, even assuming that it did (which it does not)

2019-12-06 19:51:41 UTC  

HE DID NOT???? BITCH I SAT HERE AND WATCHED HIM TYPE IT 😂 AND SEND IT

2019-12-06 19:51:46 UTC  

The historical record entirely dismisses that absurd idea

2019-12-06 19:52:07 UTC  

AND if you want my own cherry picked mythological point

2019-12-06 19:52:24 UTC  

Odin’s ring is gold, all the Norse gods measure power in material wealth

2019-12-06 19:52:41 UTC  

The entire saga of the dwarves crafting things in competition is about the glory of material wealth

2019-12-06 19:52:44 UTC  

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

2019-12-06 19:52:53 UTC  

How does this not say material possession bad

2019-12-06 19:53:01 UTC  

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

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.

That is a poem you dumb fuck

2019-12-06 19:53:38 UTC  

Ok, let’s go stanza by stanza

2019-12-06 19:53:42 UTC  

Where do you believe

2019-12-06 19:53:47 UTC  

That says that wealth is unclean?

2019-12-06 19:54:01 UTC  

The entire point here is that there are good things other than material wealth

2019-12-06 19:54:02 UTC  

10: Tis the refuge of the poor to bear his mother's wit. And it is better than all the wealth in the world

2019-12-06 19:54:05 UTC  

You quite literally said “you did not” when he said “I provided a great couple of stanzas”

2019-12-06 19:54:21 UTC  

Are you following? good

2019-12-06 19:54:25 UTC  

Ok, and what do you feel that says?

2019-12-06 19:54:42 UTC  

Let’s see if you can follow

2019-12-06 19:54:59 UTC  

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

2019-12-06 19:55:07 UTC  

You guys are pretty dumb

2019-12-06 19:55:12 UTC  

Or trolling?

2019-12-06 19:55:15 UTC  

I want you to try to type in plain English what you think that stanza is saying

2019-12-06 19:55:19 UTC  

It's explicitly said. Mother's wit: natural ability to cope with everyday matters; common sense.

2019-12-06 19:55:23 UTC  

No, he’s a legit anti-Semite

2019-12-06 19:55:42 UTC  

And that it is better than all of the world's wealth

2019-12-06 19:55:45 UTC  

Mhm, and what is it saying about a mother’s wit?

2019-12-06 19:55:46 UTC  

Correct

2019-12-06 19:55:48 UTC  

Now

2019-12-06 19:55:53 UTC  

Mother's wit: natural ability to cope with everyday matters; common sense.

2019-12-06 19:55:57 UTC  

What part of that suggests that wealth is unclean

2019-12-06 19:56:17 UTC  

having a loving wife is nice, doesn't mean having a ferrari isn't awesome

2019-12-06 19:56:46 UTC  

If you were arguing Christianity you would have a point- wealth is definitely unclean in Christianity

2019-12-06 19:56:55 UTC  

For Norse paganism it’s an absolutely absurd claim
