The whole point is that the money is something that takes on a life of its own and now defines you and everything you do. This is a perfect example, you are gauging worth as earning money. You can do something special, or in other words further your growth as a human being and seek fulfillment in the arts, in the body, or in the mind, whatever you want. Just beacuse you can't earn more money then anyone else does not mean you can't enrich your life.
