    Ζηλευω θαυμαζω και σεβομαι αυτους τους ανθρωπους που καταφεραν και εφτασαν σε τοσο μεγαλο πλουτο. Επιθυμω πολυ να τους μοιασω. Η ζωη με τοσα χρηματα περναει ομορφα κι ωραια.Πας ταξιδια διακοπες κανεις συνεχεια εχεις ωραια ρουχα ακριβα αυτοκινητα και πολυτελη σπιτια.Νοιωθεις ομορφα, ασφαλεια σιγουρια κι εμπιστοσυνη στο αυριο. Ειναι υπεροχο θαυμασιο σπουδαιο να εισαι πλουσιος.Τρως οτι φαγητο επιθυμεις και ευχαριστεις για την καθε στιγμη που περναει τοσο ομορφα.
