Only the man who does not need it is fit to inherit wealth - the man who would make his own fortune no matter where he started. If an heir is equal to his money, it serves him; if not, it destroys him. However, you look on and you cry that money corrupted him... 🤔

... Did it?

... Or did he corrupt his money?

Do not envy a worthless heir - his wealth is not yours and you would have done no better with it. Do not think that it should have been distributed among you. Loading the world with fifty parasites instead of one would not bring back the dead virtue which was the fortune. 🟥

💰 💀 Money is a living power that dies without its root. Money will not serve the mind that cannot match it.

Is this the reason why you call it evil?

Money is your means of survival. 🧠

The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence.

🙈Did you get your money by fraud?

🙈By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity?

🙈By catering to fools in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves?

🙈By lowering your standards?

🙈By doing work you despise for purchasers you scorn?

- If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame...

Then you will scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?

➡️ Money will always remain an effect and refuse to replace you as the cause.

Money is the product of virtue, but it will not give you virtue and it will not redeem your vices. Money will not give you the unearned, neither in matter nor in spirit.

Is this the root of your hatred of money?
