William Shakespeare

does you ern money personal

Methinks the query of whether one's earnings be deemed personal doth strike at the very heart of man's existence in this mortal coil. For what doth it mean to 'ern money personal' but to toil and labor in the pursuit of wealth, that most ephemeral of earthly treasures? It is a question that doth not merely concern the material, but the very essence of our being. For in the act of earning money personal, we do not only seek sustenance and shelter, but also validation and worth. Are we not measured by the coin in our purse, by the riches we accrue in this fleeting life? And yet, doth not the pursuit of such fleeting wealth lead us down a path of folly and vanity, where our very souls are corrupted by the lust for gold and silver? Oft have I seen men and women beguiled by the allure of wealth, forsaking their true selves in the pursuit of fleeting riches. And yet, can we truly fault them, when the very fabric of society doth judge our worth by the size of our coffers, by the abundance of our possessions? Shall we then be content to be but servants to the almighty coin, forsaking our true selves in the pursuit of material gain? Nay, I say unto thee, let us not be slaves to the whims of the world, but seek instead the true riches of the soul, where true worth and value doth lie. Let not the pursuit of wealth blind us to the true treasures of this mortal coil, but instead let us seek that which doth endure beyond our fleeting days upon this earth.
