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 .
