Paradox of Money

Joke:

There was this old man who had been financially successful. He would make one deal then another trying to acquire more and more and more. But as he was getting to the end of his life he began to be weary of the thought of leaving everything behind. So, one day he told his wife that he wanted to be buried with all of his earnings. The wife being upset spoke with her friend and shared with her what her husband had the audacity to asked her to do. Well, a few months later the husband passed away. The friend of the wife remembering what he asked her to do said to the now widow, “What are you going to do with your husbands request with his earnings?” The now widow smiled and said, “ I’m going to do exactly what he asked me to do.” The friend being flabbergasted said, “Are you serious? What do you mean?” The now widow responded, “ I wrote him a check and put it in his pocket.”

We see the mans greed and even his mindset in this story. It was focused on wealth and gaining wealth vs his family.
