One of the objectives of working is to obviously earn an income, which is necessary in order for each of us to purchase those things such as food, shelter, transportation, water, and so on and so forth that we need in order to properly function and to remain solvent. So that, it is fair to say, that though we might well labor for a lot of reasons, one of the more practical reasons is so as to earn money, which thereby permits us to appreciate or to have the necessary things for ourselves as well as for those that we are connected to. Additionally, ideally we labor in order to be of practical benefit to others in the work so created that thereupon helps our communities, and furthers the advancement of mankind.
There are, presently, a fair amount of people that have wealth, in which they did not labor for that wealth. For instance, most parents, desire greatly to pass on an inheritance for their offspring, of which, besides their wealth of knowledge and advice, one of those things so being gifted to their progeny, is the material wealth so accumulated during their lifetimes. To the degree, that this wealth helps to stabilize a given household, or augments the income of a household, or aids and abets in the education of, or the fair ability to advance in society, as a good member of it, such has its rightful place. On the other hand, to the degree that inherited wealth makes it so the person or household receiving such, need not ever labor, or becomes a foolish spendthrift, such is questionable in its value, or even its rightfulness.
That is to say, there is a massive principled chasm between those that have wealth, and have rightfully earned it by their fair labor and by their dedication to their craft; as compared to those that have the same amount of wealth, but have nary lifted a finger to acquire such, for the psyche of those minds so involved, are almost always, fundamentally different. So that, those that labor for their money, often think about and stress about what they need to do and to accomplish, both in the short-term and in the long-term, and they are most definitely in the arena of the world in which their decisions and throughput has real consequences for themselves as well as for others. On the other hand, those that simply have wealth don't need to and often don't care to be concerned about everyday life for others that are not of the same non-laboring milieu, but rather spend their time, only in consideration as to how to make the money that they currently have, last even longer, or grow, and little else.
Those that labor for their wealth, concern themselves with the continuance of their career and the making of good decisions. Those that do not labor, concern themselves primarily with protecting what they have, from being taken from their hands, for they greatly fear losing what gives them their power and meaning in life, knowing that without that wealth, they would be surely lost, for their idle hands know not what to do, if all that money was to slip through their fat and feeble fingers.
