Lack of money changes people.
Money brings out people.

It all depends on how you look at things.

Oszy:

I don't want to go back and forth about this, money is a form of power, information is also a form of power, knowledge is also power. You heard 'power is power' from cersei, that's political power. Don't be confused.

luminouz:


U are still wrong!!!

I come to ur house,hold a gun to ur head and demand anything I want...u do anything cuz the gun gives me the power to decide whether u live or u die...that's power in its basic form...

Esau and Jacob story too shows u what gives u authority over someone is power...

Cersei? I heard her say so,but ive always known that phrase...money can buy power,information can buy power...but they both are not power...power is just power...that's all

Not really changed like that, it would give you mad confidence and make you not "foh" 4 anything....

A lot of folks do mistake "confidence to cockiness"...

IdreamOfUnicorn:
money does not change people- money is a big magnifying glass on who you truly and genuinely were and always have been.
If a person wins 100 million dollars and is a now wealthy and suddenly you see this person mistreating others like a cashier or waitress- acting all superior and putting people down- the truth is that if you didn’t see this behaviour before and now you most likely will say “see- money made him an asshole”.
Actually what happened there is that secretly or discreetly he was always an asshole with or without money. But before when he lacked money, he lacked power and status, so he had to keep his attitude to a minimum- though such a person would never have been the sweetest, nicest person you’ve ever seen either and then turn into the most horrible person- unless it was all an act.
So if you were always a sweet person, treated everyone respectfully, no matter what their position was or who they were, with 100 million dollars you would be that same person but now maybe you would be super generous- give to charities- help out a waitress by giving her a really great tip.
If someone looks like they’re changed completely- usually in a very negative way- you can be sure that those feelings were always bottled up inside of them- and when money finally gave them the power and status they always craved for, those feelings of superiority finally were revealed.

Why are you presenting this as your thoughts?

Aaronbee7:
Money changes not just the person having it but even the people around the person (if they are aware you are suddenly rich). Sometimes it is the behaviour of your close pals that will change you. For instance, you win a lottery jackpot of 20 million naira and you will see the kind of VIP treatment you will get from people whio never valued you before just to gain your favour. Some of your close friends will keep their distance not because they are jealous but because they feel staying around you will make it look like they are interested in your money and that action will make you think they are jealous and you will also distance yourself from them and the "change" becomes necessary even when you try to be yourself.
Also if you're not discipline money will expose your bad side. Girls that were forming hard to get for you before will begin to fams you and if you are not born again you will like to chop all of them. You will begin to commit bigger sins than you used to like booking luxurious hotels and hosting girls from different part of the country even if it means getting a return ticket for them. You will want to flaunt your cash to oppress your former oppressor and humble that uncle from your father's side.
My advise is that, no matter how rich you become try to be humble and help the less privilege. Also invest in in different business and best of all live a Godly life not to please men but God!

I have heard people say that money brings out the worst in people.I have heard that the only way to know a person's true nature is when such a person has money. How true is this?
Any personal experience.

davidkingsley59:


In most cases, the change we see in people isn't pride or wickedness as it seems, but an impulsive response to the pains, insults and rejection they suffered in poverty.

Unfortunately, some of us judge books by their covers.

To properly understand people's behavior or actions, there are always some causal factors to be evaluated. Nonetheless, the very few who stayed the same after hitting it big must have imbibed good moral standards as kids.

RatDead:


Game wey we sit down book together o. Thou i don't gamble. See the way he was calling me he won that i should come from school. All na wash.

Till today i don't talk nor ask him about the money. Payback time dey come by God's grace.....

yusburg:
I like your comment

JasonScoolari:

Let us use Teddy A for example, if that dude had won the BB9ja show, his animalistic and egoistic behaviour would have been seen even by the blind and most definitely step on people's head.

Money brings out evil pride in some people.
