In my perspective the quote means humans are not wealthy, but are controlled by money.

For example we are always working extra harder in order to benefit ourselves financially in the future, such as students in high school may strive for better grades to get into a better university and to get a better job which will create a better living or more money. Working overtime is another way we show to try to obtain more money. Money will always have most people enslaved by trying harder and doing as much possible to try to get their way into getting a higher amount of profit.

Humans have also became corrupt because our desire to have more money. Money causes greediness, selfishness, jealousy, competition between others, violence and wars where countries are fighting for land to have money obtained from the oil and expensive resources. Corrupt people are controlled by money because they disobey an order in to obtain money. This shows they are putting money as their main priority because they are risking their job for an amount of money.  Conflicts are also created because of money so it’s not only beneficiary, but it is also one of the foundations that cause problems in our society. Malnutrition starvation is problems which derive from lack of money, due to people being unable to pay for food. This would also lead to diseases and aging faster because people stress every day in order to obtain more money. Letting money be in control of our society causes our lives to revolve around simple green paper and enslaves us to it.
