In response to Oyemykke’s statement, “If you’re not making billions, remove the DND icon from your phone,” a user on X replied, “God forbid you don’t have money, you can’t be a person of dignity. You don’t deserve love. You are nothing.” This comment reflects the dangerous mindset that equates a person’s worth solely to their financial success.
Such beliefs are harmful because they dismiss the value of character, love, and dignity, suggesting that without wealth, a person has no significance. This narrative promotes materialism over human qualities and relationships, which are far more important in defining a person’s true worth. Everyone, regardless of their financial status, deserves respect, love, and dignity. It’s crucial to reject the notion that money is the only measure of a person’s value and success.
