True Wealth is of the Heart, Not of the Purse


Most people envision wealth as having lots of money assets and a larger income. Well this is true, true wealth comes from inside and how you are as a person. This quote is similar to that of " money cant buy happiness" as both quotes leverage your emotional power over that of money. From wealth, Pathros means how fulfill you are as a person. If you do things out of your heart you'll be rich in happiness. You will have no regrets as to what you did and you're life will be peaceful. This is what he means by wealth not actual physical money. Sure you may have lots of money and can buy anything you want but that doesn't actually mean you'll be happy. You may still be missing companionship and friendship which is a type of wealth that can only be obtained by the heart and not by money.
An example in real life can be seen with families. Some families may be very well off, having excessive amounts of money. They are all doing their own thing and quickly gaining profit. But because they are so busy with everything else the family never has any time to actually spend time together. On the contrary a poor family that all live together and constantly communicate with one another will be much happier. Although they dont have money they feel much closer and safer with one another

After a experiment was performed we realized that the homes within our community have around 115 parts per million of soil, which is above the american average. According to the EPA, once lead reaches 400 ppm then it becomes a danger to us and once it reaches 1200 ppm then the area needs to be closed off as it become a serious health hazard. Although the results were not that high, it was still  alarming. Lead has a negative impact on
