Is Money An Agent of change?

There lived a young and humble man who was poor and found it difficult to live in the luxuries he desires. Luck came across him one fateful day along the street where he found a purse with certain documents in it and traced the owner home. The owner, who was happy to have recovered his properties which meant a lot to him, gave this young man a huge amount of money that changed his life completely. He became rich and grew his wealth until no one equated him, but suddenly, he developed pride, and looked at the poor with disdain.

His friends believed money changed him, and others believed only wealth is one's true character known. Was it truly the wealth?, or had he always been this way but was never noticed by others?.

I don't believe money changes people, it may have a certain level of influence to the one who holds it, but has no ability to change a man. We are the same people when we are either rich or poor, what changes is one's status, and such can only have a greater effect on the one who had always waited for such an opportunity. Character isn't built in just a day, money only reveals the true identity of an individual, whether he had always lived in pretense or was living in integrity. You're who you are in whatever financial position, except that wealth reveals one's identity that had lied dormant because such opportunity wasn't at his reach.

I can do everything that is genuine and legal for money , it doesn't matter the perception of others about it. It doesn't matter how shameful others consider the job to be, as long as it puts food on my table, I'll do it. Every legal job, not minding if one is packing refuse dump, as long as it pays, I'll do it. The goal is to become rich, and not to please others.

Finally, there are certain things I can't do for money. It doesn't matter how much it pays, these are drugs, rituals, and sugar boys for promiscuous activities. It doesn't matter how long it takes to grow out of poverty, I'll wait for Luck and chance rather than Involving in these ones.
