You Can’t Take It with You

• The eccentric
• The wealthy

The eccentric

Everyone is different, we admit, but it’s a matter of degree. Boring or entertaining, this is fine, but not reckless or dangerous. OK, maybe a little recklessness is fine if it brings a little happiness.

The wealthy

Wealthy people are human, too. Sometimes you might wonder, but their privilege and power doesn’t necessarily always make them arrogant. Give them a shock; maybe they’ll think better.
