What's really important?

Sometimes it's important to take a reality check before going to sleep or waking up in the morning. At the start of every day it's good to realize what will be good in this day ahead of you. After a bad day, look to your green light in the near distance and see what it means to you. While reading The Great Gatsby, it didn't take too long for me to realize that Gatsby's morals were slightly different then mine. So much of his life was money based. He had the theory that from rags to riches was the ideal American dream. Gatsby didn't love money because he wanted to prove to himself that he could live a happy life in East Egg with all the money he could ever dream of, he wanted to prove this to the love of his life. He realized how much she loved money, so he slaved away so he could prove to her that she made a mistake. In the end was Daisy really worth it? Her high-maintinance qualities didn't prove herself as a good person. Daisy's greed proved that money can't buy happiness.
