Paradox #1
The moral conflict in the verse might arise from the differing views on the use of wealth and resources. Some could see it as an endorsement of capitalism and the importance of profitable investment, which might conflict with values of equality and sharing. Others might view it as prioritizing financial gain over ethical considerations or communal support. This could create tension between the idea of personal responsibility in managing resources and the ethical duty to care for others.
