Show LOVE AND MONEY A pretty, sensible, wholesome girl in a good, God-fearing home falls in love with some worthless, no-account boy, and nine times out of ten it does no good to warn her or to reason with her. She is ruled by a natural human desire for happiness that is stronger than facts or reason and she acts on desire, not on reason. Desire for wealth is much the same with many intelligent men and women. It often pays little heed to reason. Desiring a thing, money, love or happinets, is one of the most primitive mental processes. It requires re-quires no effort. But it does require effort to make desires come true. In trying to acquire money people often gamble in land, securities, commodities or what-not without putting forth any effort to determine just what chance they have of fulfilling fulfill-ing their desires. They do not invest in-vest or even speculate. Like the romantic ro-mantic girl who flaunts all reason, they end in a quick divorce; that is. the get-rick-quick or get-something-for-nothing proposition speedily divorces di-vorces them from their money. Investing In-vesting money requires long and careful thought, not romantic dreams. |
