Avoiding Being "Aweful"

Psalm 49:16,17 "Do not be overawed when a man grows rich, when the splendor of his house increases; for he will take nothing with him when he dies, his splendor will not descend with him."

I've been reading through the Psalms for a little while now, and I have decided to start sharing some of the insights I've gained from my reading.  I'm starting with this passage simply because it comes from the psalm I am focusing on today in my personal reading.

It's very easy to become overawed (a new word for me) when I see the news of  all these people who are, for a lack of a better term, filthy rich.  When I hear about people who make millions and are worth billions, my mind has difficulty even comprehending those figures.  I need to realize that they are still people, and should be thought of in that way regardless of their tremendous wealth.  The  old adage "You can't take it with you" still applies, and I need to remember to not become too "aweful" when I read or hear about these people.
