On Valentine’s Day 2015, the world said good-bye to the 89 year old father of Italian chocolate, Michele Ferrero. He leaves behind a family business that is responsible for bringing the world Nutella, Mon Cheri, Tic Tacs and Ferrero Rocher, among other iconic confectionery brands. With an estimated net worth of approximately $26.5 billion USD, we would arguably call Michele Ferrero rich. He would likely agree. But what must be said about Michele Ferrero is that his faith teaches that wealth means so much more.
Wealth is often best understood by defining its opposite: poverty. Simply stated, poverty is the state in which you have no more than you need. And if one is poor in the fully Christian sense, you wish for no more than you need. Using this definition, we understand both the physical (what one has) and the spiritual (what one desires) dimensions of the wealth/poverty dichotomy. Through deduction, then you can assert that wealth is having more than you need and still being unsatisfied.
