Money:
the root of all evil
“Money makes the world go round”, “Diamonds
are a girl’s best friend” and so many more quotes… We’ve heard them over and
over, but is money really the root of all evil?
We as a society gave money its power
and influence; otherwise it would have been a worthless piece of paper. What’s
the difference between a Monopoly bill and a real bill? Both are papers, but
one has become the center of the universe while the other remains a pretend
game.
From need and necessity corruption
is born, when you find yourself in a situation where you are tempted to compromise
your conscience it’s usually because of money. Most crimes are driven by the
desire to acquire money, and what’s worse is when money makes you kill somebody.
I find it sad that people think that
money can buy happiness or that if you own a lot of money you can buy people off.
It may work with the weak and people with no dignity but for those who are
proud and have a self esteem it will never work.
When you're rich it won't be an easy task finding who your real friends are and those who are materialistic and in pursuit of your assets. It may open new doors but it might as well open trap doors.
I you have a 1000$ you’ll find a way
to spend it, and if you have one million dollars you will also easily find a
way to spend it. When your income increases, your needs will increase but eventually
become stable. We’re all greedy as human beings, we always want more and the
more you get the more you need.
Don’t let money become an obsession because
it will eat you up. Always yearning for more, keep in mind it’s just a
commodity to acquire your basic needs. We have seen so money TV and movie
starts committing suicide, did money truly buy happiness?
We
have seen the virtue being corrupted blindly by money from politicians to
religious man driven to the edge of insanity. So be careful what you wish for,
because in one way or the other it will turn around and hurt you in some way.
Finally,
only few self made millionaires will understand the value of hard work and
money for they had to make an effort to gain it not just inherited it. Think
for one second of the poor and in need and you’ll see how rich you are.
Rich
to have your health, family, friends, loved one, education, career and so much
more.
