The rich fool's surplus harvest exceeds his storage capacity, and his solution is more barns, more storage, eat, drink, and be merry — and that very night his life is demanded from him. You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you — then who will get what you have prepared for yourself? The Greek word for life (psyche) is the same word for the soul that animates the body: the man was rich toward storage but not rich toward God, and God held the ultimate asset.
