Money and power don't change people and here's why.
I believe we all have come across this statement βwe use to be very close but ever since he made money, he has changed a lot and he hardly vibes with us againβ
The only thing constant is change, we all have that one person that we use to be close with but later on the energy between us starts falling away, that's nothing new anyway, people do change for real and I can tell you that money or power don't change anybody, I have my facts, which I am going to write below but before then, let me write what came about the topic, at least every tree has a root, they don't just build a house from top to bottom, they build it from the bottom which is the foundation to the top.
A few days ago while I was active in one of the Whatsapp groups am in, one of the admins solved a case, and the way he did it was like a trained detective, everyone was amazing, then I complimented him that he should be working as a detective in the security agencies so he can solve a lot of cases, another member replied my message and said that he will change when he gets there, that's when I said, money and power don't change people, another member asked me to explain how money and power don't change people, what now change them, I did a bit explanation, which I can remember, but I'm going to write it now.
When we hear the word money, we often think about a lot of things we can do with it, Like buying a new phone, wearing designer clothes, eating a well-prepared meal, and staying in a more comfortable house than the one we are living in now, some of us have already planned the country we want to tour and the places we want to visit there, like for me, I will like to go skydiving and enjoy the moments of falling from the sky with a parachute, I will be able to see a lot of places from the top view.
All these I mentioned and some that I didn't mention are all on our to-do list when we get that huge amount of money that we need to live a comfortable life, that's why we grind every day, in and outside the internet so we can have money to enjoy all the enjoyments that we kept aside, every day we grind on read cash and also engage in the outside world, being friendly to everyone and spending time with different people that we met because we are still grinding for the money we need.
Let's say, God's favor hit you now and you got a million dollars in your crypto wallet, I mean BCH wallet, what will be the first thing you will do? Will, you still be active on read cash or you will be busy doing what you wrote on your bucket list, like traveling and doing what you always wanted to do, I bet that's what you will do.
The people that you use to seat with and talk about anything back then, you won't even remember them at the moment because you will want to take care of your own first before doing for others, I mean, that's the main purpose of us grinding right? Cause we don't want to rely on others so we grind and take care of our needs first before others, trust me, it's not selflessness or being stingy, it's what is necessary, cause at the end of the day, we only got ourselves, only we know what we go through behind the closed doors.
Some people will start might start saying that ever since we make money, we change, we no longer have time their time, we are just acting busy because we see them as low class, which is not actually true, money does bring opportunities and also take away time, before I continue, I just want to ask this simple question,
Will you rather be chilling in Miami Beach and from there to a presidential suite hotel or You just want to be with friends talking about things like that won't give you money?
I guess you already answer the question, cause there are a millionaire things you can be doing now, but you choose to grind in read cash.
Money gives us the freedom to think far and wide and also provides the material things needed to get it, money also gives us control over some certain things in ourselves like handling the wheel to go anywhere moneyly possible, being broke limit us and make us believe that some people change because they make money.
Though some people do show bad attitudes after making money and all I can say is that they have the attitudes in them all along, they were just acting like they don't have it because they were broke, but when the money came, they start showing their true color and you will realize that you never actually knew the person, he was just wearing a mask this while.
A few days ago @Bisolammy wrote an article about her mother's neighbor that was acting friendly when she first moved into the place, but all of a sudden she became troublesome, and everyone was avoiding her, that's how some people are, they are just acting loyally because they are broke and money don't change anyone, they have the intention in them all along, either good or bad intentions, they are just waiting to make the money so they can bring out their true selves.
The same applies to power too, they might act like a good leader and say what the people want to hear like some pastors, but deep down, they already know what they want to do once they win election and enter power.
I subscribed to your school of thought. I wanted to argue about it at first and having taken time to read and digest it, you absolutely nailed it. Money and power only pushes out our inherent traits which we have buried deep inside before but lack of money kept us humble from showing them. You only know the true colour of a man when he has money and power. Two powerful combos.
