Money is an adored, hated, and a well known everyday object. It can advance your position in the world, and it can ruin your life. As all know, greed is very powerful. Many times, money inspires the greed. Abraham Lincoln once said, "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." What he meant is that anybody can be good, but to test whether he is truly a good person, you must give him power. With power comes great responsibility. All who have power usually have much money at their disposal. Since they have power, they think they can get what they want. If a man uses this power for his own needs, he is not a Truly good man. If he uses it to build a school, hospital, or provide food and other necessities for the needy, he is Truly a good man.
When your the grredy one who uses it for himself, it almost always tears you down. It ruins your life. Some people do not have much if any money at their disposal. They end up despising it for it is a gift and a privilege that they don't have the honor of receiving. They misused it earlier and now they are paying for it. Poverty is a dreaded situation. Everybody goes through hard times, especially the Nolan family, and practically all of the United States during the Great Depression. Like us, the Nolans grew out of it eventually. They saved and saved until something good came out of it. They used it wisely and it brought them up in the world. Not by much, but progress was made.
All of the US was experiencing a hardship during those years.World War 1 didn't help either. It all went down the drain from then on. At the height of the Depression, we were more at the bottom of the pipe than the drain. However, we grew to massive industrial power after the Second World War. The Nolans, provided they stay True, should have the same outcome. Using money, resources, faith, and knowledge wisely will reward them with a bright future. All people go through hard times. In the right sense of mind, the Nolans are in that positin now. Semper fidelis. Always faithful. If the Nolans stay faithful and true to their ways, they'll pull through the hard times.
