In response to the comment suggesting that “you can’t be a person of dignity without money,” another user added, “Dey play, you don’t have money, you and your humanity go suffer,” reinforcing the idea that without money, one will inevitably suffer, regardless of their character or humanity.
This perspective further perpetuates the harmful notion that financial status is the sole determinant of a person’s well-being and quality of life. While it’s true that money can provide comfort and security, reducing life’s value to wealth alone overlooks the importance of human connections, personal integrity, and emotional fulfillment. Equating a lack of money with inevitable suffering diminishes the potential for happiness and purpose that exists beyond material wealth. It’s crucial to balance the pursuit of financial success with the understanding that dignity and humanity transcend monetary value.
