Nice story :). I guess life is all about finding a purpose and enjoying the process that leads towards your goals. That purpose can't be solely a financially driven thing. Money in my opinion is a valuable tool in life, but it's not the endgoal. Life is more than just being rich and powerful. For me life is about finding deep, honest connections with people and going through lifelong experiences togheter, beating loneliness together. These two boys got to blinded by their quest for money, and greed punished them for it.
This summed it all up. Unfortunately most people fail to enjoy this journey only hoping to start having a party when they get to the destination.
