Summary

This quote suggests that despite people referring to money as evil, it continues to thrive and exert power without being affected by such categorizations. It highlights the idea that money is not a sentient being and thus does not possess the ability to care or be influenced by human judgement. Instead, the quote portrays money as a concept that holds a strong grip on individuals, deceiving them into believing it is real and giving rise to an addiction. It also alludes to the notion that there may be a silent agreement among society to maintain the power and allure of money.
