The difference between wealth and status

Money: The root of all evil. Well maybe not so much evil BUT money has indeed got the power to change people. People you once loved could very well turn their backs on you because they are now “rich”. However I have a question. Do you how rich a person is by their money or their personality and dealings with people less fortunate than them?

Status: Something that brings you great respect from all over the place. In my perspective I think having status in the society is more valuable than having a tone of money. A robber may come and steal your money or you may lose it in some misfortunate event but you can never lose your status which you have earned.

People who want money more than status are crazy. Think about it, one person who has, I don’t know say around $500 000 in their bank account and another has respect form many and hold a very high profile status among the diplomats and officers of the world. Which one would you prefer? Yeah I get it that the person with the money can build a huge mansion and have a Mercedes Benz while you still drive that old Toyota that you bought from some random dealer down in North Shore or somewhere rather, and you live in a house that’s pretty good but not something that shouts our WOW.  But why, why would you want to trade your life or be like that person with the huge amount on money when you have status? WHY ? WHY?

Whoever you are that’s reading this your probably thinking I am crazy but I feel this is a serious issue. Well probably because its in issue to be right know due to various reasons the cyber world should not gain knowledge of.. But yeah I just feel that having status is more important that having money. You see one day that persons money may run our or may not, but most likely it will. But if you have status that won’t run out any time soon. Status is like a fine wine, the more you let it age the more better it becomes. Also, persons who want money more than status, who knows, maybe you can win the lottery tomorrow. Haha but even if that doesn’t happen, always remember that everyone can steal everything from you besides your knowledge…
