Theodore Roosevelt said: “Probably the greatest harm done by vast wealth is the harm that we of moderate means do ourselves when we let the vices of envy and hatred enter deep into our own natures.” What is Creator’s perspective?

While not perfectly worded, with respect to the issue of responsibility and accountability, it is certainly true that the wealthy will encounter much resentment from others of lesser means who are jealous of their perceived status and the many advantages that financial security represents. There are many reasons people become wealthy, and if justly deserved and earned, even through inheritance, through no fault of one's own, the very fact of having such a life circumstance is not a transgression. If someone has taken advantage of others to get ahead financially, that is a different matter. But it is true that all people of means will encounter hostility from the many who will often experience envy of those who are well-off because they feel inferior and are lacking and have no way, at least from their perspective, of achieving the same wealth for themselves. So rather than have that serve as a motivation, and perhaps be a constructive perspective in turning to envy and jealousy, they are giving in to a much-lowered vibration that will cause harm to themselves and may well drag them down permanently. Such individuals may end up in extreme poverty when they become trapped in a downward spiral of hatred and resentment towards others enjoying better circumstances, and end up feeling it was undeserved and unfair for them to have less and become trapped in feeling helpless to change their life for the better because they blame the wealthy for their own shortcomings. In truth, it is possible for all to do well financially if they apply themselves and are willing to work hard for the rewards it brings. While not all can be billionaires, many can do better than living on welfare or becoming homeless and surrendering to that lifestyle through helplessness, perhaps aided through addiction to drugs and/or alcohol. Such a degraded state is a high price to pay for perceived unfairness about one's lot in life, when that outcome will most likely be determined by the individual's own choices that cause a downward spiral making things much, much worse compared to where they started.
