(Aggressively)

When you crave for money, your mind becomes illogical and you lose touch with reality.

When you’re pursued it’s only a matter of time before the inevitable happens. They say there are two types of people in this world, the moral or the sinners.

When you lose your consciousness, you lose your identity, mentality. When you lose touch with reality, how do you tell what’s reality and what’s not?
