It is not easy to convert the rich

It’s like this:

The more people have, the more they have to lose. The more they have to lose, the more fearful they become. The more fearful they become, the more defensive they get. The more defensive they get, the more they cut themselves off. The more they cut themselves off, the more closed they get. The result is that they end up with a withered heart. And it is impossible to breathe life into a withered heart.

To close one’s heart is to begin to die. To open one’s heart is to begin to live.
