"There are two ways a man can be rich in this world, he can have a lot of money, or he can have a lot of friends. But he cannot have both."
~ Freddy Heineken
My chosen quote for the day is revealed in the best possible way from the MOVIE "Kidnapped - Freddy Haineken" where five young Dutch men pulled off one of the Biggest Money Kidnappings in the Netherlands history.
Its strange to see how friendships dissolve with the presence of MONEY, one would wonder if the presence of money be worth it, for a man is not an island and friendships are the force behind longevity.
Some food for thought, is money worth more than friends?
The Real life story based Movie is great. If you havent seen it yet, Anthony Hopkins plays an excellent role, the only thing I would have liked, is a little more DUTCH accent in the story to make it more authentic. I loved being able to see some of the streets of Amsterdam again even if only on the Big Screen. I give the movie 7/10 for trill value. I hope you take the time to watch it.

I guess that is the reason why in the Bible it was said that you cannot have two Gods.
I am not sure but at times, money tests our character and how we deal with the people around us. People who value their money so much gets to be too defensive on what other people are showing him that sometimes he finds it difficult to trust people.

I would definitely choose friends over money, it's when people do not have enough money they tend to choose money first. What is enough? For some, never enough.

I dont think money is worth more than friends, but at the same time, I dont think that rich people are all friendless lol

I think having friends is more important than money. Because money brings power with it and too much power is not a good thing.

Well sacrificing friends is too bigger a term here.
Some things are not under our control.
Suppose if you get a great job opportunity at some other city and your best firend cant move out, so in that case you may distant apart from your best friend, but still it wont be a sacrifice, I feel. Indirectly money will be the driving force here.

I've learned a very valuable lesson since my husband passed away. Friends are worth more than anything. Real friends, of course. It's a lonely world out there when you have no one and I think that most people take their friends for granted. I've learned that I can survive with very little money. But friends? Without them, I am lost.











I will surely watch this , because it stars Anthony Hopkins .
