In praise of richness

A fine, fast run this morning, musing on the theme of richness.
In our greedy capitalist world, rich seems to have become a synonym for material wealth. Richness of experience, richness of relationship, above all richness of understanding - these are all too often side-lined, rather than being properly articulated and taught as life essentials. What’s more, these riches are infinite and sustainable, unlike their material counterpart. Maybe that’s the problem. Being available to everyone, they subvert the fundamental root of our innate need to be superior.
