Journal Prompt #14

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

My ideas in analyzing this quote that it is stating about the act of being obsessed with power, because years ago, kings and emperors only cared about is being the wealthiest. Supposedly, having a large quantity of currency means that you can take control of the people that surrounds you. People would work for the money that you would own; the higher amount of money you have, the more people a king or emperor can take control of.
