Thought for the day by Charles Handy on the trappings of materialism and living for profit. Handy begins the thought describing how acquaintances and kin of his have been lured into choosing the promise of wealth over other less material considerations in life. He proceeds to state that they cannot be blamed for valuing money, but wonders if people can maintain clarity, morality, and ethics with the promise of money before them, and be true to themselves. In the end, Handy hopes that those who have money, or dedicate themselves to its pursuit, won't lose their souls to it, and cautions that time should be made to pursue spiritual things.
