What Money Can'T Buy

Decency is not bought with money, doing the right thing does not require wealth. The poor man who has nothing can show humanity as much as anyone else. The lifestyle of the wealthy man, does not highlight the inner man. Instead it masks the true man, hiding behind a mask of wealth and power. Generosity through money spent should matter not to a true friend. You see manners cost nothing, just like decency, friendship and love. Its a simplicity that has the rich man wondering what more he could have done.
