Italian actor Totò is quoted as saying, "With money, you can meet the people you want to meet. Without money, you meet the people who love you."
This claim is not entirely incorrect. In the everyday life of an ordinary person, lasting and deep relationships are usually formed during childhood, at school, during studies, through family or relatives, or in connection with hobbies.
And as a general rule: there is no reason to befriend a car salesman, a waiter at a luxury restaurant, a wine merchant, a clothing salesperson, or a middle school principal, even if they are friendly. Friendship is also not usually found at representative events, media events, meetings with politicians, management team meetings, housing association meetings, and so on.
The most remarkable aspect of Totò's argument, however, is that it claims that the highest quality of human relationships can be found in everyday life. And if this is the case, then luxury cannot be part of social interaction.
