Short Link to this Quote:
Cassius Longinus, he considers love of money a disease because it can make people act in pitiful and groveling ways. Longinus seems to believe that an excessive focus on acquiring wealth can degrade one’s character and dignity.
When money becomes the primary goal in life, people may lower their standards and do shameful things just to get more cash. Longinus suggests this obsessive love of money is an unhealthy condition that strips away people’s self-respect.
