Nevertheless, its's awesome because you are a practical and realistic person. Believe it or not, we have the same sentiment about this issue. I also see Money as one of the most powerful things in this world, I am not that hypocrite type to say that Love matters the most blah blah blah. With this, you can buy everything you wanted, it makes you famous instantly, and also makes you an influential person. What are you wishing for while having a life like that? Nothing Grin. But of course, I still do believe that money is the only source of happiness because as long as I can see people who are still smiling despite of their hard times with financial aspects of life then that's enough reason to conclude that MONEY do not run this world alone.

You seem to love money so much that you even capitalized that word, wow. I'm not going to be a hypocrite here either but it looks like you are putting the cart before the horse here. It is not money that makes you influential, in real life it is other way around. You have money because you are influential. As they say, at first publicity, then prosperity. Money cannot buy power, power is the ultimate thing on the scale of material values, and it can only be taken by force or otherwise, not bought directly (though money can definitely help you with that).

This has been known since Ancient Rome, and no amount of money could prevent you from being proscribed when things came to that. In fact, the more money you had, the higher were your chances to be declared an enemy of the state, for example, in the times of mass proscription under Sulla, a Roman dictator.
