14. Please describe your reactions/ideas to the following quote: "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him."



The quote represents a traumatized person who values wealth other than their own life. A human bound by gilded chains and wears ragged money as clothing. Money choking a man senseless. All these qualities come to mind when a wealth controls the person that owns it. Living only to be wealthier, to have that extra car that extra diamond. Unfortunately their are humans that have money chaining them to their property never allowing them to leave.
