The pursuit of external validation, like a mirage on the horizon, promises fulfillment but only leads to a never-ending cycle of craving. True wealth lies not in the accumulation of riches, but in the cultivation of inner excellence, for it is in the depths of our own being that we find the treasure we've been seeking all along.

quoting note1qe5…hg6s

"Because people want more and more possessions, they start wanting more money, and thus honor money more and excellence less. Accordingly, the wealthy become more honored, and the people of excellence less honored. With the majority now money-loving businessmen instead of lovers of victory and honor, the admirable rich men will be put into office, and the poor will be dishonored."
