Money and and power which is important

[iv4n]

"Give a man money & power and you will see who he truly is."

By the way, I think being rich doesn't necessarily mean you're powerful, but power almost always brings money with it. And both money & power have a strong influence on a person's character. History repeats itself... There are stories, movies, books about this matter, and we still haven't learn anything.

Money and power are like two sides of a coin for me, because with money comes power and with power comes access to money or people who do have the money to support.

Seeing that we can't all have both money and power at same time, it creates a division in the society and that's where classification of the citizens into rich, average or poor class comes in, with the man with the power being in control of everyone.

Money gives birth to power but I think it's necessary we specify what power we are talking about here.

As regarding the Op question, I would say money is more important than power since with money you can literally have power. Society is more loyal to money than to someone with power without money. People will see you as oppressor if you have power and not money.

Again, people with authority control everyone, not people with power. Unfortunately, few people now control both power and money with allowing it to extend to large populace.

[Just Say]

Everyone may have different views on this matter, some say that money is more important than power, because if you have money, you can buy power, influence, and even the loyalty of others. but on the other hand, there are also those who argue that power is more important than money, because with power, you can get money, loyalty, and other things that will also come.

But I think it's not which is more important, but how a person uses it. there are people who have power, but because someone has money, they immediately bow down before them. but there are also people who have money, but overnight their wealth is lost by officials who have power. so we can see that the two are actually almost equal.

So far we have not seen anyone who has power but no money, but depending on the situation and the goal, we may feel the need for both and can also select which one is more important. At first glance, both are important because it is not difficult to determine the nature of a real person through them. However, keep in mind that money helps us buy necessary things, and power can give us all access to resources through which it is possible to bring about change and establish ourselves globally, but be sure that if there is money, getting access to power cannot be a challenging matter. After all, with the influence of power, a individual can bring about great changes in the social field and i accept that they earn a lot of money by using power, and people who have a lot of money can overthrow powerful people.

From the way i see it, i feel that money is more likely to bring out the true colour of a man or woman. in the aspect of authority, if he or she is voted for or looked up to he will not want to mess up that opportunity so the individual will try to hid some toxic traits to retain the position.

On the other hand, onec an individual has money of his own he has nothing to hid because he is independent and not looking up to any one or group of people to retain his money so there is no character he has to hid, and he will unveil his true personality.

If you really have to pick one, then you are doing wrong anyways. You need it all. You need power, you need money, you need to be smart, wise, hard working, all of it. If you want to succeed in life, you can't just sit and be best at one thing, but lack something else.

If you do, then you need someone else that can do that part for you. I have worked hard to master myself in everything, outside of time (I am always running behind on my work) I am quite good at it, so I need better organizing. But at the same time, it gave me a proud life to be happy about it. This is why things are important when you do it all by yourself. You are going to end up with some good results, and that is why you should be careful about it.

I adore your comment thank you for your contribution

Money and power are both important but money is more important we need money in our everyday life our basic activity requires money which makes money very important what's power without money in other to get that power one also need money either political power or any form of power tho the op wasn't specific on the nature of power we should talk about but whatever power one most aquire needs money note it is very important for a leader to be financial stable in other to earn respect not even the position the person's occupies people become more loyal and that's because of the money. Power at the other hand is influential it is said power corrupts indeed it does we don't expect a person given a position or I'll say power to act or behave thesame that's not possible at times we judge but if we could occupy such position we might do worse that how power operates

You are right that power brings money but that statement can be faulty and I will give instances. There are some people that are very powerful but hardly know how to use the power. Take for instance the US under Joe Bidden, he turned America into a laughing stock among nations, everyone ignored them but today, when America talks, everyone listens. Donald Trump just made a commend about my country and all the leaders and politicians are running up and down looking for what to prevent him from making good his threat of deploying troops to fight terrorist if our leaders fail to do something. Even the terrorists are already fleeing our country because they know that Trump does not say what he will not do.

How a leader uses power is what will determine if such power is effective or not. The same can be said for everyone who holds power, if its properly applied, it can have economic implications and vice versa.

In reality money and power which shows the true color of a man?  Although this is a very simple topic but there is a more meaning to it as I have seen something which I can't believe with my eyes, that  propelled me to come create this topic which I would want us to throw more light on it, to know the one that really shows the true nature of a man.

Your inputs are indeed needed as I would want us to discuss this amicable.

I don't know why people say it's the behaviour of a man with power that shows their true colour but in reality every moves is their true colour, but of course power and money changes a mans behaviour, however if well observed power is as important as money and power is rarely helps without money, everything revolves around it now for a man you need both. None is more important both are.

[Maslate]

When a person obtained a huge sum of money, his mindset and perspective change towards making more money that could lead gaining power eventually. That is most of the cases I've known, except for those who are naturally good with or without money on their lives.

However, money is still the most important, because that is where power starts when people around you start seeing you are now making a good amount of money and is living a more comfortable and quite luxurious life. People will eventually look up to you, and for that, you already have the power unconsciously.

[mustapha67]

I think the best way to explain, or answer the question is to find out which one of them has the other along with it. For instance, money is power, but power of course, is not money. A man who has money can possibly do everything thing with his money, but hardly you see a man in, or of power without money succeed in his efforts.

Therefore, I am submitting that money is more important than power. Money can buy everything, and to an extent, even life. A verse in the scripture rightly says that; "Money answereth all things" This particularly mean that money is necessarily considered more superior than power.

Money already brings in power if you know how to use it and not waste it. It's not that easy for people to have this kind of situation, usually most people who are rich, are also powerful. Maybe if you inherited money from your rich parents who were powerful, then you can be rich, but not be powerful because you do not know how that works. But aside from that, most people know how to run their money in a way that makes them quite strong.

Bribery, corruption, political toys, basically they do whatever they can to make it work. Why do you think places like Walmart or amazon can easily pay people money so little that whole nation has to pay taxes to make sure those places have workers on benefit paid by tax payers. Imagine the size of a company, where they are literally getting their workers salaries paid by tax payers. That's how rich and powerful work.

Both are interconnected, as having one will create an access to the other. So I cannot tell money is more essential than power or the vice versa, because both have real advantages in our lives. With money, survival is secured. With power, it helps us create a big difference in the long run. So if we can have them both, living life would be safe and highly secured, that creates more essence in life. As much as people wants money, they also wish to be powerful in the end, that's how I see it, and that's the reality in life now.

[aioc]

Both can cast influence on almost everything, so both are the same; if you have one, you will have the other. You cannot have one without the other; they coexist wherever one is present.
This is why so many people want to become politicians or leaders. Once you reach the position you desired, you get both of these, which will sustain your ego and boost your confidence to do anything you want.

[Kelvinid]

Money is essential, while power is exceptional, so I have to stick with both of them. Where there is money, power easily follows.  And once you have gained them both, that makes living your life worth the time and efforts.

But in real life, not all are given privilege to access both money and power. Some do have money, while others do have power alone. But they can always find ways to make these two both inseparable.

[Vaculin]

I don't mind power, I just need money to survive in this challenging life. That was my concept before, but later on I realized having power is also beneficial especially of the type of government we have wherein those who have power will always be prioritized and those who have not will eventually get ignored. So I still chose to have them both, not to create an edge but to create balance in life. Because life itself is sometimes unfair, somehow balance is also we need.

In reality money and power which shows the true color of a man?  Although this is a very simple topic but there is a more meaning to it as I have seen something which I can't believe with my eyes, that  propelled me to come create this topic which I would want us to throw more light on it, to know the one that really shows the true nature of a man.

money and power works hand in hand without money no power. I don't know what you mean by what you said, anyone proclaiming to be powerful without money has no power . According to the standard of the society today, people recorgnised a rich person and they often gain recorgnition because they have money. So you cant distinguish each of them as both works hand in hand.

That is true sha.. but in addition there are people has physical power to fight against anyone who comes across their way even without having money, there are people who sorcerer power and maneuver things we can as well call it power. Men of God also have spiritual power and most of them doesn't have money but they can pray and cast out demons these are powers. But in terms of political power, they both works in hands as you already narrated above.

It looks that we've got the same idea. All we want to have is enough money to survive and buy the things that we want and as a provider, that's what we've got in our minds. 

But later on, we see on who are getting the attention if they've got the power. I think that even having that much money, you'll be prioritized for some services in the government.

Still, it's different if you've got the power and we know that this happens in many corrupt countries and it comes with the two, money and power is a tandem that many people are hungry to have.

To make our life beautiful and enjoy it beautifully, we need both money and power. With money, you can do anything and live a luxurious life. And with power, everything will become easy for you. I have seen many people who have money but they do not have that value like a powerful person. When a powerful person goes somewhere, at least two people follow him and respect him and no one thinks of doing injustice to him. But the society does not give much value to the one who does not have power and this path of life becomes difficult for a powerless person. So to enjoy life beautifully and easily, we need both.

Money and power are both complementary to each other, especially since you can't imagine one without the other.
For example, if you have a lot of money and you spend it, you will see that one day you will get power. You have power and if you use it and can exert political influence, it won't take long for your money to come.
Now, the whole world is basically a game of power, meaning whoever has power will try to exert as much power as possible and will exploit those who are weak by showing power.
