Power or Money?

Which do you prefer? Power over money or money over power?

I personally prefer power because it can afford you more.

I don’t really care much about either.

If I had to choose, it would be money. I live in a society where it’s hard to exist without it, so I need it just like everyone else.

I don’t need power though, besides power over my own existence and actions.

Money or wealth is just one form of power.

There is a difference to me between money and power. Lots of people who have money are powerless and lots of people who are powerful have no money.

Money and power is just a way to get eachother. Money is used to get other people and so is power. It’s for people to use against eachother maliciously and often competitively speaking.

If you have to use money/power to get someone, you get nothing.

Take a look at one of these babies. You power one up and money just falls right out of the sky. :jack_o_lantern:

Power is evil when used in the wrong hands and so is money. When people can’t be good with it, why is it flying around everywhere?

…because they are held hostage by people/person that are/is still children/child! Mind your business!

Just make sure you’re not wasting your mama‘s money, and give her proper respect. Otherwise, you ain’t got nothin’ to say to nobody but yourself.
