I aspire to be monetarily wealthy, only because monetary wealth is viable. In that sense, my aspirations would be limited, yes. But only because aspiring to be monetarily wealthy in a world that wouldn't recognize such wealth is simply foolish.

Wealth does not only apply to money. Aspirations toward a wealth of knowledge lead to teachers. One does not truly learn until he teaches, as it is, to make sure what he "knows" is correct and true before passing it on.

Aspiration would not falter or change, only the means by which it came about.
