Well, I never gave a crap about being wealthy. I still don't. Having enough money to where I don't have to sweat bullets wondering if my most basic bills can be covered would be nice... but heck, I'm getting to that point and should be able to acheive that goal in a few months' time.
(I'm still recovering from losing a good job about four years ago.. .long story.)
But it's true that all the great Prophets and sages have warned against exessive wealth and its effect on the spirit. If at first you don’t succeed – try, try again and then quit. There’s no sense in making a damned fool of yourself. – W.C. Fields |
