In fact they are of a very high value to the rich.
You would not be able to feel rich, if there were no poor. The only reason why there are poor people is because there are rich people as well.
If everybody had the same share of everything that the earth provides, the words "poor" and "rich" would not even exist.
If you say something feels cold, it is because you can compare it to something that feels less cold so something that feels warmer.
If you name yourself rich it is because you can compare how much you possess to that what other people possess.
So if you strive to be rich...it means that there will always be poor.
If there are no more poor....you will be not rich anymore neither. So strive to become rich is a fine, but don't pretend that it is to help the poor. As to be and feel rich( have more than others have) implies that some have to stay poor.....if not you won't feel rich anymore....and you get the feeling that you can't help them if there is no difference in wealth between you and the poor.
So the only reason why most want to be rich, is to extend the existence of poverty. And once poverty exists, it gives the rich people the great feeling that they are going to help the poor.
But why would you want to create or extend the existence of poverty if you truly want to help the poor?
Because you value the poor very high to have a live purpose. But if you would pay the poor for that high value....giving you a life purpose.....you would not be able to maintain your wealth or being rich or richer...and so on....
If money is what society gives to what is of high value, well your life purpose must be the highest value..those people that give you a purpose are the poor, but you are not willing to give your money to them......contradicting indeed. And this because you fear to find out what your real purpose is. It is not to grow richer so you can help the poor, as growing richer is extending existence poverty.
Your life purpose can't be extend the existence of poverty or is it?
There can't be rich without poor. Those two are inseparable on earth.
