There’s nothing wrong with money, but there’s something wrong with wanting it.
They call Citizen Kane (1941) the best movie of all time. The movie opens with Charles Foster Kane dying alone in his Florida mansion. He utters the word “Rosebud” just before passing, and the rest of the movie is an investigation into his life and the meaning of this cryptic word.
Kane became a hugely wealthy newspaperman, famous all over the world, but the end of the movie reveals that Rosebud was the name of the sled he played with as a little boy. He spent his life chasing wealth, power, and status–the things he thought would make him happy–but that sled was the closest thing he ever came to happiness, and it was there the whole time.
