The quote “He does not possess wealth, it possesses him” I believe means that money controls men. People are controlled by money in many ways. It is said that wealthy people have the power to do anything, which is partly true. Everyone in the world has the desire to obtain wealth, but few are those who obtain it. Those who do achieve wealth sometimes become careless and forget the importance of spending time with family. They start to think that by providing their family with luxuries it complements the time they don’t get to spend with them. People who obtain wealth start to loose their humbleness and come to believe that they are superior to everyone else. I would rather be someone humble from the middle class than someone wealthy who believes everyone is inferior to them. Sometime the wealthy only have friends due to their position in society and their money, I rather have true friends.
