Yes, money cannot buy you extra days of life, but neither will humility and poverty.
Tese tichangofa. And once you die, you are gone. Nothing else. It does not matter whether people mourn you or laugh/celebrate. You are both gone, and will be decomposed soon. Rich or poor. So why laugh at a person who lived their life to the fullest? Especially when you are a pauper and will likely die a pauper too. All this humility stuff is overrated. It doesn't gain you anything if you really think about it.
