The Irony of Wealth and Morality Across the River
A reflective piece contrasts wealth and virtue, arguing that true worth lies in character and generosity rather than riches. It uses a old darky parable about crossing a river to emphasize that kindness, honesty, and shared humanity define worth, not gold. The writer cautions against judging others by side of the stream and urges inner riches over material gain.
