The answer is: Rich fool

Luke 12:13-21

In the Gospel of Luke, the parable of the Rich Fool holds some profound lessons wrapped in a seemingly simple story. Picture this: a wealthy farmer, amid his lush fields of grain, decides to tear down his barns to build bigger ones—all because he thinks he's set for life. It's his twisted ambition and desire for comfort that lead him to proudly declare, "Eat, drink, and be merry!" Little did he know, his life was about to be demanded of him, catching him completely off guard.

Here's the twist: this phrase is rooted in more than just his excess; it echoes the age-old human vice of greed. The Rich Fool’s folly isn’t just his wealth but his failure to consider what truly matters—his spiritual state and relationships. A fun tidbit? The Bible's rhetorical slant lip-snaps to another prophet, Ecclesiastes, who also talks about enjoying life's bounty, merging joy with caution. It reminds us to celebrate, not hoard, while innovating life’s brevity into mindful stewardship rather than selfish accumulation.

The rich man totally underestimated the value of the real “treasures” in life—compassion, generosity, and living for others. This story gives us a brisk reality check about setting priorities—maybe it’s time to assess what’s truly on our “inventory” of life before we find ourselves blind-sided by life’s ticking clock! After all, instead of building bigger barns, nurturing one's soul might just be a better investment. veggie money? How? Very associated.
