not too many rich folk around here, i take it....
killah, one could also say that money is life too in a sense that the more money you have the more lives you can support. you can give life with money. Not necessarily in the here and now, but passed on and built up over generations of children (should you have children which alot of people do end up having though they believe they wont. however, developing a fortune usually entices the fortunate person to have children to pass on what he or she has rather than blow it all on themselves or leave it to no one after. a fortunate man does not want his fortune to go to waste)
although, you are also right about attention = life too.
fame will probably eat you up faster than you think though. not that id know lol, but from what I know, you become a rat in a in a maze designed my the masses and media that predetermines itself as it goes. if you can make sense of that. once you sell your soul to the devil, you wont ever get it back. you may not want it back. but if it gets worse, you have to deal with it.
I'd want both. just so i could say I have them. thats a good enough reason for me.
