🏃‍♀️ Run for your life from any man who tells you that money is evil.

That sentence is the leper's bell of an approaching looter. So long as men live together on earth and need means to deal with one another, their only substitute, if they abandon money, is the muzzle of a gun.

Money demands of you the highest virtues if you wish to make it or to keep it.

Men, who

👉 have no courage, pride or self-esteem

👉 have no moral sense of their right to their money and are not willing to defend it as they defend their life

👉 apologize for being rich...

...will not remain rich for long.

They are the natural bait for the swarms of looters that stay under rocks for centuries, but come crawling out at the first smell of a man who begs to be forgiven for the guilt of owning wealth. They will hasten to relieve him of the guilt — and of his life -- as he deserves.

Then you will see the rise of the men of the double standard — the men who live by force, yet count on those who live by trade to create the value of their looted money — the men who are the hitchhikers of virtue. 🚗

In a moral society, these are the criminals, and the statutes are written to protect you against them.

❗️ When, however, a society establishes criminals-by-right and looters-by-law — men who use force to seize the wealth of disarmed victims — then money becomes its creators' avenger. Such looters believe it safe to rob defenseless men once they've passed a law to disarm them.

However, their loot becomes the magnet for other looters, who get it from them as they got it. Then the race goes, not to the ablest at production, but to those most ruthless at brutality. When force is the standard, the murderer wins over the pickpocket. Then that society vanishes, in a spread of ruins and slaughter.
