I will borrow from Epicurus: “The acquisition of riches has been, for many men, not an end of troubles but a change of them.” I do not wonder. For the fault is not in one’s wealth but in the mind itself. That which had made poverty a burden to us has made riches a burden as well. It matters little whether you lay a sick man on a bed of wood or a bed of gold; wherever he be moved, he will carry his disease with him. So, too, it matters not whether a diseased mind is set down in wealth or in poverty. The malady follows the man. Seneca, Epistles 17.11–12
