Human nature has two sides, divine and animal. Money represents material desires, for women who love beauty, it represents brand-name bags, and for men, it symbolizes beautiful cars and so on. These are all desires. But the satisfaction of desires is not all the source of happiness. If he is only a vassal of money, that is, a vassal of desire, it will only prove that there is only animal nature in his human nature. The pleasures of animal and divine satisfaction are fleeting. Happiness is often not enough. If a person wants true happiness, he must combine the divine and the bestial. For example, if I use money (regardless of whether it is obtained through legitimate channels) to buy expensive items that I have always wanted to buy, then my material desires are satisfied, and I have a great sense of accomplishment. And when someone cares about me when I'm sad, and my spiritual desires are satisfied, then I'm very happy. In fact, in life, we switch between divinity and animal nature all the time, and have a sense of happiness in the constant switching of human satisfaction. The rookie in "Wall Street" is eager to succeed, but he finally admits to himself: I'm Hobby, I'm just Hobby. He clearly realized that he could not be like a tycoon who abandoned any divinity. The tycoon, the reason why he is so attractive, is because he represents pure materialistic desire, the naked kind, representing the animal nature that everyone has. We hate him because we refuse to face and admit our ugly side, and we like him because our animal nature to satisfy material desires is greater than our divine nature as a characteristic that distinguishes us from other animals. Anyway, I want to be successful, but I still hope that I can become a person worthy of divinity.
