Seemingly irrational behavior such as this, namely giving away the object of one's life-long obsession, leads me to believe that the money myth con differs from the kind engaged in by the typical skilled criminal in that the former are, in many cases, themselves unwitting victims of the scheme. Indeed, it is they who spend their lives climbing the ladder of success only to find it leaning against the wrong wall.
The world's great wisdom traditions consistently inform us that the material stuff of this world is not what ultimately matters. The warnings have been posted, yet we are lured time after time into the deep end by false promises of great treasure. Indeed, money and power are intoxicating, and we are addicts all. Poor Willy Loman just couldn't understand why it seemed to work out for others, but not for him. I wonder what he would have said and done had he seen the con exposed for what it really is.
