On the contrary.
I know a great many people who have done it with real money.
They have done well.
Some have done extremely well.
I take great pleasure in that.
I'll be content when I go to answer the eternal question.
I bear no burden of guilt brought on by former misdeeds in my life.
I was once wealthy, now I'm not.
But I'm serene, when I once wasn't.
It's worth it.

Stages As every flower fades and as all youth Departs, so life at every stage, So every virtue, so our grasp of truth, Blooms in its day and may not last forever. Since life may summon us at every age Be ready, heart, for parting, new endeavor, Be ready bravely and without remorse To find new light that old ties cannot give. In all beginnings dwells a magic force For guarding us and helping us to live. Serenely let us move to distant places And let no sentiments of home detain us. The Cosmic Spirit seeks not to restrain us But lifts us stage by stage to wider spaces. If we accept a home of our own making, Familiar habit makes for indolence. We must prepare for parting and leave-taking Or else remain the slaves of permanence. Even the hour of our death may send Us speeding on to fresh and newer spaces, And life may summon us to newer races. So be it, heart: bid farewell without end. Hermann Hesse, The Glass Bead Game
