No matter how you live, life is full of experiences that balance out in the end. God has always been fair. The poor wear their suffering openly: backs bent under the cost of daily necessities, and the humiliation of wanting what they cannot have. The rich hide their suffering behind a polished facade: the loneliness of having no one who understands them, the fear of having so much that they can no longer hold on to it, and the constant anxiety of standing high up and dreading the fall.
