MONEY CANNOR PROVIDE US WITH SECURITY.
There are two primary reasons why money fails to make a man secure. The first is that money simply cannot purchase security, for security cannot be bought.
There are those who deceive themselves by thinking that wealth offers them security, but this is only imaginary.
A rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall in his own imagination .
The second reason money cannot offer us security is that wealth itself is often only temporary. Not only does our wealth fail to make us secure, our wealth itself is insecure.
Do not weary yourself to gain wealth, Cease from your consideration of it. When you set your eyes on it, it is gone. For wealth certainly makes itself wings, Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens .
I recall hearing about a man who made hundreds of millions of dollars on a single transaction. Only a few months later the newspapers reported his loss of even more than what he had previously made. Someone commented, “He may not have lost his shirt, but it sure did loosen his tie.” Security can never be gained through money.
