Francis Underwood in Netflix’s hit drama House of Cards said it best, “Such a waste of talent. He chose money over power. In this town, a mistake nearly everyone makes. Money is the Mc-mansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after 10 years. Power is the old stone building that stands for centuries. I cannot respect someone who doesn’t see the difference”.

He is saying Money fades away with time. No one will remember aka materialistic items. BUT POWER, power reigns for centuries. People will not remember what you said, but rather what you DID, what you accomplished. It goes down in history. What you do with that power says a lot about your character. From the dawn of man, we have been obsessed with power and achieving dominion over others/things. It’s innate, it’s in our blood (well, the Entre blood atleast). Which would you choose?
