Imprisoned by Money

One sees what happens when the hearts of individuals, and of societies, become seduced by money. It is an ugly, but also completely pathetic sight. Is it sane that one's happiness should depend on the strength of the dollar, or the price of gold, or the mystic number of the Dow Jones index? ... If money is our god, and money worries are allowed to be dominant in our lives, we shall always be the prisoner of our treasure.
