Journal Response#14

         To me the quote states how someone can easily be corrupted by wealth. "The rags to riches" story can change everyone. It can lead to person selling out his beliefs or their friends and family. Money, wealth is the most manipulative force out there. People will do anything for wealth. Murder, drugs, prostitution, its unimaginable what people will risk. When you have wealth, I imagen, you feel as if you have power over others. The ability to have what ever you desire leads to corruption. It happens to superstars, rock stars and athletes and we see it on the new everyday. On the media, rock star found dead at hotel or a basketball player getting coaught with a prostitute. Someone who has wealth, I believe  it should be shared with others. I strongly believe in charities, funds, scholarships ,etc. wealth is a blessing that should require you to share with others.
