"Money doesn't change you, it encourages you to show people who you were all along." Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

[Still-alive]

Just some random comment i saw on a youtube video. do you think this is true? money doesn't change people just allows them to show everyone who they truly are?

I strongly agree

Everybody has an ego... EVERYBODY. Look at the way you treat people who disagree with you. Look at how you treat others period. Many of us, most of us claim we are good people but we treat people mean all the time. We give in to our egos all the time.
We all are equally, "Not shit"

When one accumulates money without proper knowledge of the how, it can create a larger ego and vanity which leads to violating others. But the truth is we're already doing it. If you aren't working on treating people who upset you better than you're delusional in my opinion.

Everyone is equal regardless of how they act or their results. If they kill a guy, they are still equal to you. If they rape a guy, they are still equal to YOU. You may have better or less better results but everyone is equal to you and you them. Everything is the same thing. Einstein proved that and science will continue to prove the Bible right and religion wrong.

I disagree, unless you mean it shows you how you handle money. Plenty of people change because of money, you can claim it was all in them before. But it's just another experience or inexperienced that shapes you. Any dramatic enough experience will change you for life.

Yeah, it’s the chance to do so. Everyone is living a fxcking lie and I won’t be convinced of otherwise. I’m not buying the bluff.

Conformity. Hostile. Unoriginal.

Those with money can “wander” into their own freedom. Money Hustlers actively choose it. They know what they want and make it happen.

Very few who are “given the chance” use it for the ‘Greater Good.’

[Rosexøxø]

I vote agree anyways because that’s the “safe” answer.

[Sour-rose]

I don't think so, on second thought. (i said it depends) I'm going to have money to the point that it's no longer a problem for me... but I don't think it will encourage me. It only means i have 1.7 million batches of soliders and... why should having so many change me into being... who I've been since I realized I was unknowingly depressed the whole time.

I believe when one starts making money the money goes to their brain like my late great uncle worked for years plus he served in the Marines, but he was very sarcastic, and he didn't care how he treated people and my heart went out to my late great aunt yes this happens among family and friends.

[KingOfMe1]

It can do that. The symptom of treating or violating others comes from an over grown ego and vanity.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

@KingOfMe1 Yes, this is so true.

[menina]

I strongly agree. If you show that you're arrogant or greedy just because you're rich, then you've always been like that.

[purplepoppy]

I think it amplifies who you are, for better or worse.

[Rosexøxø]

For sure. It practically enables that lol

[Likes2drive]

Having more money just makes you more of what you already are, if you’re generous you’ll be more generous, if you’re stingy with it you’ll be more stingy , it just amplifies your personality just like a drunk

Back when I was 20-22 all my friends were broke and I had a little money. I always bought them food when we were out. Now I'm broke and they have the money and they buy me food haha. If I come up again, they are coming up with me again.

[TheUniqueOne96]

Agree.

I swear I've said something like this on here before and IRL, did you steal it, lol.

[SadisticSlxt]

Personally I'm actually humble but I see people dying to get that little bit more lol I can't imagine how that must feel

[LiamJHayden]

To a certain extent, true.
