    How beauteous are rouleaus! how charming chests
    Containing ingots, bags of dollars, coins
    (Not of old victors, all whose heads and crests
    Weigh not the thin ore where their visage shines,
    But) of find unclipt gold, where dully rests
    Some likeness, which the glittering cirque confines,
    Of modern, reigning, sterling, stupid stamp;--
    Yes! ready money is Aladdin's lamp.

Money is your means of survival. The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you read more

Money is your means of survival. The verdict you pronounce upon the source of your livelihood is the verdict you pronounce upon your life. If the source is corrupt, you have damned your own existence. Did you get your money by fraud? By pandering to men's vices or men's stupidity? By catering to fools, in the hope of getting more than your ability deserves? By lowering your standards? By doing work you despise for purchasers your scorn? If so, then your money will not give you a moment's or a penny's worth of joy. Then all the things you buy will become, not a tribute to you, but a reproach; not an achievement, but a reminder of shame. Then you'll scream that money is evil. Evil, because it would not pinch-hit for your self-respect? Evil, because it would not let you enjoy your depravity? Is this the root of your hatred of money?
