Is Money everything??
what is it that has made man so materialistic in life? why is it that all that counts as of today is personal benefit and money? why is everything from love to learning being calculated in monetary terms?
Be it politicians. They promise the world to u but then keep the world for themselves. In businesses the shareholders and customers are supposed to be the king but them something like Satyam, a Mr Raju comes along and takes all away. Why? Why do humans forget that 50 yrs down the line when u are on ur deathbed all this money, all the cars and the land u have bought and all the buildings u have built wont be able to save u. and when u do die then all this is gonna be left behind. u are not gonna take it along to your next life. if life was cumulative in nature i would surely have finished my studies all in one life, earned millions in another and the rest would have enjoyed luxuriously but friends life is not that way.
then y do people need so much that it becomes a headache. less money causes a pain and even more more money causes one since then u r worried, "what if i lose it". so just keep that much how much u need to live a good life and earn as much as necessary.
people go to any extent to earn money, they dont care if they method they adopt is right or wrong. at this point let me share with u a story my mom once told me.
" a man was earning enough money to survive and one day he got an offer to earn triple that amount but the work to be done wasnt morally right. he goes to his mother and explains the situation to her. she says, " son i am illiterate and dont understand these things of this world. all i know is that every morning when i come to wake u up u r fast asleep and it takes me ages to wake u up. dont do anything that someday i come to ur room and u r awake due to worry n tension. thats all i will say"
This simple story has such a huge meaning in it. There is life beyond materialism and monetarism. Thats a life of love, learning and enjoyment. Go out recognise the life beyond, use it to the fullest, enjoy every moment and just chill.
