the word "account" always makes be think of the movie Count of Monte Cristo (1975).

the main character was not driven by money, but revenge. in order to bring his enemies to justice, he had to study for years inside a prison, gain freedom thru education, and then fulfill his mission. money was part of the process, but not the focus of the main character; others, however, were mostly focused on his wealth and worldly experiences.

how can people stay accountable if not by acquisition of knowledge of what is right?
