Cherish
In a world where money is king, and material things it's queen, people chase their dreams to earn their first million. And millions after. In the process of getting there, they sometimes forget who they are and where they came from. Like a horse with blinkers, they don't see nothing else. Some would even go to the extend to cheat, con and harm just to be up there. Why? Is money really that important? Is it so important, that you lose sight of those around you? You're absent. You stress yourself out and then lash out at the people who matter the most to you. You spend less and less time with your loved ones. And slowly, you just disappear. While you get closer to that goal, you get farther away from the things that mattered to you at the first place. Eventually you lose them. And then what? You made your millions right now. But you have no one to share it with. Only bloodsuckers that leach on to you to get a free ride. Take a moment, remind yourself, money and materials are something you can never have enough. You can work your entire life but you'll never satisfy that thirst for them. Be contented. Never compare. Remember how you got here. If not for the people around you, you won't be the person you are today. Cherish life. You may not have a second chance at it.

This piece is so well written mee.. One of my favorites.
I think if you want to see a person's true character, bring money into the context. It changes your whole perspective. And i'm sure it did you.
I'll always choose you over money mee mee.. :D we may not have millions, but our friendship is worth far more than that.
