DirectAppreciation Money is not everything
It can buy you a house but not a home,
It can buy you a bed but not sleep,
It can buy you a clock but not time,
It can buy you books but not knowledge,
It can buy you blood but not life,
It can buy you a position but not respect,
It can buy you medicine but not health,
Money may not be the root of all evil(罪恶),
But it often bring us anguish (苦恼)and regrets(懊悔).Thank you very much !
