Why I Hate Money

I hate money. I know it's used for a reason. But still, I hate money. I can't stand it. Money influences people. Sometimes in the wrong way. My father is one of those people. Money is dangerous. I like danger, but not all danger. I like excitement. Not counterfeit and evil. Money can help, but it's also evil. Like the people who use it wrongly. Like my father. Money is why I don't have a mother. And I want a mother. I loved my mother, even though I didn't know her. And now she's dead. All because of money.

People want to be rich. They think money is true happiness. Because it gets you stuff and power. That's not true happiness. True happiness is love. No one loves me. Not as a friend. Not in any other way. My father doesn't love me; he's too interested in money. My mother loved me; she loved me more than anything. And now she's dead. All because of money.

Money is why I'm living the life I don't want to live. The life of solitude. The life of evil. The life of pretending. I am alone. No one cares about me. My father just sees me as a money maker. I do labor for him and I do his dirty work. He makes me help him with his lies and his cheats. Money is why I'm lonely. I pretend to like rich things and rich food. But I don't like those things. I like simple things and simple food. I pretend to like swan and all of those other rich foods that are disgusting. But I really like the simple food of the villagers. I pretend about all of my feelings. People think I have none. But I do. My father has no feelings except for greed. They think I'm like him. All because of money.

I will probably grow up to be a liar and a cheater like my father. A rich knight. Because it's the only thing he'll let me do. I'll be powerful and I'll have a rich family with no love. I'll be just like my father. My life will be dishonest and a fake. All because of money.

I would rather be poor, but have a family and have love. I don't want money; I hate it. But my dream will never happen. All because of money.

I have given up the love of my life. Because she is poor. She is a mere cook, but I love her. I don't find her high-pitched voice annoying; I find it comforting. But instead of me, she loves the gardener. All because of money.

So, what do you think? I was recently feeling bad for Gunther, so I thought I'd write about him. I know you may find the Gunther/Pepper pairing strange but I thought I'd throw that in there. Please review!
