You seem to equate respect with wealth, yet history and reality prove otherwise. Respect is not a product of bank statements but of character, wisdom, and impact.
If wealth were the sole determinant of respect, then corrupt billionaires would be the most honored, and selfless leaders, scholars, and saints would be forgotten. Yet, we still revere figures like Socrates, Mother Teresa, and Jesus Christ—none of whom amassed material wealth, yet they commanded immense respect across generations.
True respect is earned, not purchased. If money alone secured respect, then even the richest criminals would be deeply revered—yet society often despises them. Think beyond materialism; respect is a currency of virtue, not just wealth. 💡
