Wealth blinds hearts, hardening them with each passing day. The chasm widens, empathy fades into oblivion. A rich girl sneers, oblivious to the struggles of the poor, their existence unnoticed. Judgment thrives, while compassion becomes a distant memory. Then, fortune takes an unexpected turn, and her world crumbles. The mansion once adorned with opulence is lost, leaving her stripped of all grandeur. In a small, cramped space, a modest home becomes her reality. Every penny counts as she navigates the unforgiving streets. Yet, amidst the hardships, she discovers the power of shared stories, connecting with others on a deeper level. Kindness blooms, dismantling the barriers that once separated her from the rest. Answering the call to volunteer, her heart ignites with purpose, as she lifts spirits and rights the wrongs she once overlooked. Empathy sparks within her, eroding the walls of prejudice. A newfound perspective dawns upon her, revealing that material wealth pales in comparison to the strength of character. True connections are forged, and she sails forth, guided by the essence of humanity. One heart at a time, she becomes an agent of change, bridging the gaps that divide, striving for a world where empathy prevails and understanding unites us all.

I AM
This is not who I thought I would be. Before my family was captured and forced into slavery, I had aspirations of becoming a wealthy business owner or possibly a scholar and philosopher. Becoming a warrior was the furthest thing from my mind. Unfortunately, our Roman conquerors had other plans.

Beautiful! I love this: βmaterial wealth pales in comparison to the strength of character.β So true, my friend. Well done!
The wealthy are mostly not happy. They get bored with themselves, nothing to struggle for. We all need something to fight for. It keeps our minds occupied and not turned in upon ourselves. Wise words here Asif.
Wealth blinds hearts is very true.
