[Summary]
James asked the believers to count the trials as all joy in the midst of trials in the previous verses, and here, he said that the poor should take pride in high position, while the rich ought to boast his humiliation. To make it happen, we need to reform our perspectives. No one takes his own perspective by studying, nor choose theirs out of many perspectives. It is naturally formed by our knowledge, experience, and frame - repeated practices. Considering trials as joy is having a different perspectives on trials. In this way, both boasting one's high position in poverty and delight in humiliation in wealth requires new perspective - reformed perspective. How can we reform our perspective? We can change our perspective through knowledge, experience and new frame. (Knowledge - By knowing the fact that poverty and wealth are the means not the end for Christians, Experience - going through the time in want and the time in plenty, Frame - by exposing to the situation that you have to do it by force)
