Meno: “Having the tendency to bring up the subject of money is not an indication that a person is more obsessed with gashmiyus than one who does not have this tendency.
If you have a lot of money, you don’t have to discuss the cost of things because it doesn’t affect your ability to afford it. That doesn’t mean you aren’t obsessed with gashmiyus.”
Meno, thanks. Precisely my thoughts, although I’m not sure if I could have phrased it as well. Thanks for saving me the effort.
