Lailah Gifty AkitaIt is better to be redeemed than to be rich.
About This Quote
The world is filled with people who are desperately trying to achieve material success, but few of us ever consider what happens when we finally achieve it. Many people believe that money and possessions make up for all the other things they lack, but this is simply not true. How happy can we be if we’re always living in fear? The fact is that the more we have the more we want. This just doesn’t make sense.
As long as we live in this way, we will never be fully satisfied and will always feel like something is missing. This is why it’s better to be redeemed than to be rich.
