The quote “He does not possess wealth, it possesses him" means that people are being ruled by ambition and greediness, money controls the person and it is what drives him/her, the need to have more and more money and the way people try to get it no matter who they hurt or what they do to get it. A person my become a robber or many even become a murder just to get money, they won’t stop until they get it and they don’t care about anything but the money, their ambition is too much that they neglect themselves and if they have children they neglect them as well. There is another quote that is similar it is, “When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace” it is the same concept; however instead of it being money it is power, the quote is correct when humans do stop giving important to money and power this world will no longer be a corrupt place, it will be a safe place to live in. Humans vulnerability and ignorance will not let them see how easily they can be manipulated by worthless things, worthless thing we make valuable too valuable they cost more than our lives, we cannot see how we are being consumed by our greed and ambition we do not see that we can survive without luxury in our lives. We are too blind to see our fault in the system we put too much significant to money we make it our primary reason to live. When you ask a child what he/she want to be when they grow up they responded by saying a single word… rich, even at such a young and innocent age they are given the mentality that money is a must and that they cannot live without it. Well I for one don’t want to be consumed by it, tell me do you?
