“Let’s pass over to the really rich–how often the occasions they look just like the poor! When they travel abroad they must restrict their baggage, and when haste is necessary, they dismiss their entourage. And those who are in the army, how few of their possessions they get to keep…”
Seneca, On Consolation to Helvia, 12. 1.b-2
Here we have yet another “money can’t buy happiness” passage. Nobody gets out of this life alive, but some of us get to go to space while others must remain grounded. I think most people find the rich fascinating but ultimately only wish they enough money so that money was taken off the table as a source of worry.
