Wealth as defense: The wealth of the rich is their fortified city, but poverty is the ruin of the poor. Wealth functions defensively; the rich person's riches create a wall of security and options. Poverty removes these defenses; the poor person's lack of resources leaves him vulnerable. This is not moral judgment but description of reality: material resources provide real protection in an uncertain world. The young person is motivated to achieve economic security through diligence and wisdom.
