Homeless Gamblers

 "Only a homeless person knows the value of a roof. A rich one wants a new roof." by Nonqaba waka Msimang.


Money has no value. That is why billionaires and under the radar millionaires are never satisfied. They want more. Money is not like a kettle which boils at a certain point. It even hisses to get somebody to come and switch it off. Newer kettles on the market that switch themselves off are not part of this discussion.

The internet fuels the perception that money has value. It is like a casino, where all kinds of bets are made. Gamblers drink coffee throughout the night perfecting the perfect online con. They know they will catch some fish because the world is constantly looking for easy money.

When we say we want to be rich, we don’t come up with a limit for example, I will consider myself rich when I have two million dollars. Hands up if you ever reached your set limit, then stopped making money. Because money has no limit, very few gamblers in Vegas walk away from slot machines after winning. They re-gamble winnings with the hope of even bigger wins.

Gamblers don’t know the value of a roof because they go home afterwards. Homeless people do. They remember that a roof over your head also houses valuable possessions. That is why they don’t gamble with the few items they have. They cart them around in grocery carts.
