When I read the quote "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him.” I feel that the statement is true. I believe that the quote means that once a person becomes rich he does not think with the brain he thinks with the money. Sometimes rich people think that they aren’t like the average people; they think that they are more important and they see everyone else as savages. If they were caring and liked other people then their feelings go away and new feelings of hatred and superiority come as a replacement. Soon they are no longer humans, the think different, they act different and they look different. Once they have the money they can’t think of anything else; it is like he is under control of a spell and he just becomes cold. The person no longer possesses emotions they only have the wealth.
Sometimes the person begins to feel like he’s a god, he wants everything and whatever he does not have he tries to get no matter what. He will eventually do things that would make no human proud, actions that involve death and disaster. Once he is decided to obtain what he wants there is nothing to stop him. It is like if the person loses his heart and just replaces it with money. It does not matter how much that person already has, he will always want more and he will make sure that he gets it. For instance, if the person is a millionaire, the he will feel like the most important person in the world and will treat his employees like trash, if the rich person feels like he wants a special drink that is only made in china he better have it or someone would get fired. Being rich could be difficult because the greed can take over your mind.
