I agree with the quote "He does not possess wealth, it possesses him." because humans have that insatiable greed, no matter what they have, they always want more, but this is not always true as there are some that do have enough. Wealth changes people, some one from the lower can become wealthy but he will not stay modest for long, he will not continue to talk with the other poor. Many times through out history we see millions die due to the rich wanting to keep their wealth. But in a sense the nation is possessed by wealth, money is needed to buy the most abundant resource on the planet, water, and it is needed to feed yourself. But there are some cases in which wealth possesses man, and in these cases he becomes greedy. Man would much rather make, and have money than to give it away for a good cause, many people that do give money do it for publicity others because of connections with the cause they donate to.
