Whoever loves money never has enough;
whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income.
This too is meaningless.

- Ecclesiastes 5:10

When they are intent on increasing money, let them hear what is written: “The covetous man is not filled with money, and he that loves riches shall not reap fruit thereof.” For indeed he would reap fruit of them, were he minded, not loving them, to disperse them well. But whoever in his affection for them retains them shall surely leave them behind here without fruit. When they burn to be filled at once with all manner of wealth, let them hear what is written: “He that makes haste to be rich shall not be innocent.” For certainly he who goes about to increase wealth is negligent in avoiding sin; and, being caught after the manner of birds, while looking greedily at the bait of earthly things, he is not aware in what a noose of sin he is being strangled.

- Gregory the Great, Pastoral Care 3.20

Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.

- Luke 6:30

Every thing we have we receive from God. But when we speak of “mine and thine,” they are only bare words. For if you assert a house to be yours, you have uttered an expression which wants the substance of reality. For both the air, the soil, and the moisture, are the Creator’s. Thou again art he who has built the house; but although the use is thine, it is doubtful, not only because of death, but also on account of the issues of things. Thy soul is not thy own possession, and will be reckoned to thee in like manner as all thy goods. God wishes those things to be thine which are entrusted to thee for thy brethren, and they will be thine if thou hast dispensed them for others. But if thou hast spent richly upon thyself what things are thine, they are now become another’s. But through a wicked desire of wealth men strive together in a state contrary to Christ’s words, And of him that taketh away thy goods, ask them not again.

- John Chrysostom

Regarding this problem, let's explore an idea. Let's imagine a world where each box has not 2 balls, but 1 trillion balls. The left box has 1 trillion gold balls, the right box has 1 trillion silver balls, and the middle box has 1 gold ball and 999 billion 999 million 999 thousand 999 silver balls.

You're in the same situation. You've picked a random box. You've pulled out a ball. It is gold.

Question: is it a 50-50 chance that the next ball will also be gold? Or is it, instead, extremely, near 100%, likely that your second ball will be a gold one?
