+Changing of John's perception of wealth throughout the story
+============================================================
+
+Our human brain has, amongst others, great abilities; to adapt, understand, learn, and to have opinions. In order to expand our spectrum of knowledge, we sometimes have to find a chance to see things from a different aspect or perspective, blatantly following a dictated path of life is not only boring, but sometimes even dangerous.
+
+John T. Unger was a young, but mentally developed individual, or at least he thought so. On one hand, he understood wealth as a materialistic factor, on the other as a medium for inspiration; he adored rich people and wanted to take their steps. In other words, he was blinded by the light of the shining emeralds and richness.
+
+However, after not only discovering, but also being a first person observer of the inevitable saga of being kept imprisoned and slowly and painfully killed by your own materialistic possession, John decided he's going to be better. Soon after a couple days at the Washington's residence, he was, simply put, swept away. His mind was getting more and more determined that he wants to live his life to the fullest and not waste it on collecting shiny stuff like a crow till the very last day.
+
+Such blunt and sudden changes in our mind are often consequences of fear. Money is what John was suddenly afraid of. Such phenomenon, the fear of wealth, is, unfortunately, often detected too late. It is much more important that we learn from what we observe and that we try to live a social life, connected with our peers and have this wonderful ability to change our mind, that to enclose ourselves in a golden prison.
