Money or Power?

[Ajackson17]

Power has been and always will be the drive behind every great man..to have control of every aspect of your existence outside the realm of death by accident, murder or natural causes..there are certain things that attract wealth..power, fear and fantasy..the mere perception of power can cause folks to throw money at you bcuz they see a wise investment..you can't become rich unless you have some level of power bcuz it takes power to consume foes and bring dreams to reality..money is often times the end result of the actions of a powerful individual...not the other way around..

And if you throw money at the powerless it is easily squandered away. Power of Muhammad is evident, same as Jesus, and buddha. These men can come to earth tomorrow and after proving who they are will be in a seat of power but let Crassus come tomorrow and see if he get his riches.

"Only thing worse than a coward, is a coward with power, gotta kill em in the shower"

Word to half the mods.

You can't take money or power past the grave, but I would choose money for being versatile, unless we are talking superpowers .

power.

We really splitting hairs b/c in Western, Capitalist society they are essentially one & the same. Like molecules apart

Gotta go with Power b/c Money is tangible and finite. They are ways to circumvent it & it is not a character trait most important. It does not always speak to a person mentality or methodology for them to have money. To gain power has to first start with qualities you actually possess, therefore to me it cannot be duplicated & in this case can be used to get more money should your circumstances change (u fuck up:market changes;get betrayed/set up)

Even with things like lineage & inheritance, Power and the elements that garner it (fear, respect, inegrity etc) arent just passed down. Too many shows, movies & even real life examples of a bratty kid more less inheriting an empire and their insecurities & recklessness trying to gain their IDEA of power & the same respect & admiration aint there.

Turned out to be an interesting thread...

Power you buffoons. The worlds elite are after power. Power means control, which means mind control and money is the first cousin of power and control.

 

Money, power & respect

Money, power & respect

Money, power & respect Uhhhh

When you chase power, you ain't gotta chase cash.

Money and Power go hand in hand to a extend

 

[jayvon32]

Can't see how you can have far reaching power without the money. You can get money with no power, lottery wins are one example. Yea people flock to them but only respect what that person pockets can do for them and not the person.

If you got power, sooner or later you will get the money and the admiration or fear of those around you.

So one goes with the other, but having more power typically leads to one keep their wealth for a greater time period than just money with no power

Power.

For true power is omnipotent,.omnipresent, and omniscient. Those that appear powerful foster illusions of these components. Yet most, if not all of the most powerful men believe in a deity, or claim to be one.

...and last time I checked Jesus was broke.

 

[Ms.Scorp]

Fuck power...pay me.

 

[The Lonious Monk]

There's no right or wrong answer here. For people with a lot of power, money will come automatically, and people with a lot of money can buy power.

 

[VulcanRaven]

People really are fools if they don't realize that money gives you power. Everyone needs money and for the right price you can get anything or anyone murdered. Che and X had power and they both did because of men with money who in turn had more power than they did. As the old saying goes, money talks. Even natural resources equal= the effect of money. Power does not feed people or make their lives easier, but money does. End of discussion.

Last time I checked Jesus was dead because men with money and resources had him killed even though Jesus is a fictional character. If Jesus was omnipotent than hypothetically speaking no one would have dared to cross him and he would have been immortal. Yeah you make no sense.

Last time I checked, God the all POWERFUL, wanted him dead anyways. God powerfully orchestrated the whole thing.
