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

In this quote by Benjamin Franklin he explains that instead of man being in control of his own money the money controls him. My thoughts are similar because of the fact that its seen in everyday life. Human life revolves around money. Wealth is now required in order to even survive in a country such as the United States where it is so important. A persons wealth now creates how someone else is looked at because of the fact that it buys the clothes, house, car, and possesions that the person is judged on. Wealth has shaped a person's thoughts, life, and future. A human's thoughts mainly revolve about money or how to make money in order to live the life they so badly desire. Their life is spend, just as their money is, on materialistic objects.
