He noticed something else as he approached the store. There were a couple of guys standing at the side of the store that got Bart’ s attention. When Bart approached the two guys, they told him that they had a brand new 50 inch High Definition TV set worth over $ 2500, and they were willing to sell it right now for $ 600. Bart looked in the box and was thrilled to see the TV of his dreams. Bart had the extra $ 200 in his pocket for the TV, and he had the desire to make a killing of a deal. He told the two guys that he just needed to go into the store and pick up a few items and he’ ll buy the TV when he comes out of the store.
If Money Could Talk...
Bart loaded the box onto his truck and sped home to enjoy his new toy. When he got home, he got his brother to help him with the box. They got the box to the living room and began to open it. Bricks! That’ s what was in the box. Bricks that were meticulously bound and placed in the box! $ 600 worth of bricks! Is there a moral? How about,“ If you are looking to steal, you’ ll probably be stolen from. If you’ re looking to take advantage of someone, you probably be taken advantage of.”
I’ m only a medium of exchange to be used as a tool to create your chosen lifestyle. Use me, but don’ t love me. I am not the root of all evil. The love of me is the root of all evil and will cause the weak to do evil things to procure me. When you use me, I will provide you with great things to enhance your life. When you misuse me, I will make your life a living hell. The choice is yours.
