Does money bring power, does power bring respect?
The only true power money brings to us is the power of “choice”. It can be used in the wrong way giving others the false impression that “spending power” makes someone truly powerful. I disagree. It can cause corruption and bring false friends more often … many governments are proof of that – including my own … sadly. More likely than not, those with money have a false sense of power due to the many people around them, using them in some pathetic attempt to find their own happiness. Power may bring the “appearance” of respect because money allows you to “buy” people and things … unfortunately just because something or someone can be bought doesn’t mean you buy respect along with it. People put up with and give up a lot for money … many times their own morals and beliefs … which is why the world is in the state it is today. To be respected you must be respectful. Period. You must give respect to get it. Money has little to do with it in the end. Sure money can buy choices …
