Just a thought. But imagine that you worked for money your whole life. That your needs were actually your wants. You need shelter, but you want the biggest house you can get. And with this you find substitutes for satisfaction and love. You love your new TV. Your new TV doesn't love you back. You love your new car. Your new car doesn't love you back.
Think. Seconds before you die. You are are multi-millionaire because you dedicated you life to getting as much money as you could possibly get your hands on. You stressed yourself to death just earn that extra dollar. Your family has been raised to believe in money, and like the new TV and car you bought, their satisfaction and love will come from newer TV's and cars.
You realize that you left behind something that means everything seconds before you die. Your whole life has been about status and a salary. People constantly envying you from below and looking down on you from above. Never on the same level. There is no love in money and without love there is no fulfillment in your life.
You have wasted your whole entire life. This is as far as you go and you notice that you never got to see the places you wanted to see because you were too busy stuck at a desk.
Moral: You can not buy love with money. It occupies, never fulfills.
Personally, I enjoy my life helping other people. Knowing I've bettered someone gives me a feeling that money can not replace.
(P.S. sorry Chapman it was just on my mind and wanted to get it out.)

The sad thing about this write is that it happens to so many people. Take this book I am reading, based on a true story, a girl marries her step uncle and enrages her parents. He dies, she only has their children, so she goes back to her parents. What the parents dont know, is that she has her children locked in an attic so no one ever knows she has them. In her fathers will, it says if there is ever any proof she had children, she would never recieve any money. She is so greedy that she even tries to KILL her children, with arcenic on their food. She does manage to kill one of them before they realise. This mother has left everything she loved, just for the money. I know that your more on the subject of helping people and I kind of drifter a bit lol
