And the greater the need, the more sincere the friendship, driving away this hungry witch.
—Taras Shevchenko

Being wealthy isn’t just a question of having lots of money. It’s a question of what we want. Wealth isn’t an absolute, it’s relative to desire. Every time we seek something that we can’t afford, we can be counted as poor, how much money we may actually have.
