"The man who is very rich but unfortunate surpasses the lucky (genetically gifted) man in only two ways , while the lucky surpasses the rich but unfortunate in many . The rich man is more capable of fulfilling his appetites and of bearing a great disaster that falls upon him , and it is in these ways that he surpasses the other . The lucky man is not so able to support disaster or appetite as is the rich man , but his luck (genetic superiority) keeps these things (Lust, needing external validation, lack of contentment and ecstasy) away from him, and he is free from deformity and disease , has no experience of evils , and has fine children and good looks."
