Hello Everyone
Welcome to my blog.
This is my entry to real talk contest.
This question for write is......
Does money really change people or just reveal who they already are?
Without even thinking hard on this I will give a straight up answer.
Money doesn't change people in any way, it just reveals who they already are.
As a matter of fact nothing new changes a person, it is still that person in a version you are not familiar with.
I had a friend back then in university.
He struggled to pay through school, during that period I was his best friend and we communicated, shared lots of things in common.
He was humble and nice, of course borrowed from me sometimes.
But one thing I noticed then was his unmatched pride whenever it comes to borrowing money from me.
I noticed that whenever he borrows money and it's time for him to pay up, he is rude towards it.
Finding ways to channel any movement to you insulting him because he borrowed money from you, and forcing you to tell him to forget about returning the money.
When he was done with university, he was blessed with a good job, money started coming.
His pride grew.
I was writing my final year project then, and needed some assistance from him.
He could make a big fuzz about giving me some money, he could make me cry and give a million reasons for the money before he gives it.
It wasn't as if he didn't have the money, because he was living large.
I tried to advise him to invest and monitor how he lavish his money trying to belong to the big boys association.
Of course, he ignored me and saw reasons to unfriend me because I wasn't in his league.
He could ignore my calls, chat and wouldn't return any calls or chat from me during his rich period.
Money totally revealed his stingy self, nasty, high taste, pride, misuse and an opportunist nature.
I don't know what happened to him later on, he lost his job and became so broke.
I wasn't struggling with providing for myself, when he came back asking for monetary help from me.
Of course, his character didn't change though he forced himself to be humble because he needed something.
If I didn't really look out for all this little signs, I would have said money changed him.
Money didn't change him in any way.
Money revealed this true nature totally.
Most ladies are always advised to check when their man has money and when he doesn't to be sure they are in for real lifetime commitment.
In most cases one wouldn't really see a person's true self when they don't have money.
But when we look closely, the signs would be there either with or without money.
Money didn't change the person, it just revealed what we couldn't see.
