If a man runs after money - that man is money-crazy. If a man keeps the
money he earns - he is a capitalist. If a man spends the money he earns -
he is a playboy. If a man doesn't get any money for what he does - he is
stupid. If a man doesn't try to get some money - he lacks ambition. If a
man gets money without working for it - he is a parasite. If a man saves
money from a life of hard work - he is a fool who never enjoyed life. If a
man gives his money to the poor - he is just showing off. If a man doesn't
give his money to the poor - he is a tight-wad. If a man leaves his money
to his wife - he is making up for his vileness on this earth. If a man
doesn't leave his money to his wife - the marriage was just a sham anyway.
This is why they call money the root of all evil - no matter what you do
with it, someone is unhappy.
