strength and riches

i will throw a question out that is related to rain indirectly.
i once heard a joke from a rav: the mishna says who is rich the one who is happy with his share, however this is only m'drobonon but from the torah rich means one who has a lot of money. now this is a joke but its really true, for laws of tzedaka even one that is happy but has no money is considered poor.
what makes this more interesting is that we find the same idea regarding "gibor" what is a gibor one who conquers his evil side, but a gibor m'deoraysa is one who wins a war. in our gemara also gibor is attributed to giving rain resurrecting the dead and giving life.
a deeper look sees that the definitions are actually direct opposites! is a rich man one who is happy with LITTLE or one who has A LOT! is a gibor one who doesn't fight and conquers his OWN evil side or one who wins wars against OTHER PEOPLE!
i think something very important is happening here. something to think about...
