<div>I search, but wealth has a different definition for me as it had for all my forbears, who were scholars, teachers and priests. That wealth was and still is knowledge, temporal wealth was actually frowned upon in our community. I squander too, but that's more in generally not following the doc's orders in terms of typically forbidden indulgences. Why worry when I'll not even get a stone but go up in smoke instead?</div>

<div>I'm not sure. I do the squandering but I've stopped searching... or never started in the first place.</div>

<div>In search of wealth? Sometimes. Often in search of nothing, with no goal.&nbsp;</div>

<div>Oh that's sad. A little bit exaggeration. </div>

<div>Ah, this one again. Well, wealth can be many things. There are those who squander all their energies on social engagement and recognition.</div>
