| 29. Do you equate strength with wealth? |
|
If one assumes that wealth = strength then in the natural course of evolution the wealthy may very well win.
Wealth only has power over the greedy. I realize that our society tends to foster and idolize those who are greedy, but young people, and those who are young at heart, may not be so easily corrupted. The youth have brains and these days are highly organized.
I equate strength with intelligence and heart.
