The heading suggests a lot about what is to follow. Yet , there needs a lot of elaboration to this topic that's here. Money...lovely word isn't it? One can almost smell those fresh,crunch notes coming from an ATM. Aah!! A smell that can cure you of almost all your worries. its an addictive word & thing as well. Why money? because there's only money. Nothing else seems to matter. So powerful yet so dead. Money keeps an economy, house & also people alive &in a working condition. Yet its just money. It can be claimed by anyone,almost the undeserving ones as well. It'll never react to anyone. It'll never question your ethics, conscience or make you guilty by asking unwanted questions. It'll be there just waiting forever. You can keep it where-ever you want,which-ever form you want, with whom-so-ever you want. It feels comfortable in a fixed deposit, current deposit or savings or gold; at the bottom of cereal boxes, some secret places,lockers, old clothes, purses etc. hundreds of imaginable and unimaginable places that are,we can store money. Its not of anyone's curiosity except of thieves & the income-tax department, what you do with your money & where you keep it.
What can be said about something, that's so common, yet so wanted and loved? Yes loved!! Its not romantic, but an exclusive category of love which can't be exactly named. Money-lovers are everywhere. Who have money want some more & those who don't ,need a handful. A simple question asked around a survey about money really made the people pause ,take time & react on the question. The question was as simple as," what is money?" Very few could put it in a properly framed sentence without any hiccoughs to the ideas of their definition of money. Most of the failed. Isn't it funny? How this one thing which drives almost the most significant and insignificant detail in everyone's life has no definition in our own terms??!! We are so used, accustomed to its existence, that we hardly wait or pause and think what is money? Well you may not make up some brilliant definition which will go down in the history and become universal, but yes you may definitely come up with something interesting for yourself if you scratch your noggin's!!
For me money is a life saver in difficult situation,outcome of my family's hard-work, medium of exchange, a source of appreciation on happy occasions and a friend in need yet a villain when it shakes up all your surroundings by dominating you ,suffocating you with its presence when unwanted...
Yes, money unwanted...!! Why on the earth would money be unwanted? Money being unwanted is like you stop breathing...well almost!! But given and accepted what money does,have we ever glanced up and seen that the real things in life were sufficient and much happier without money..!!
When a baby is born it hardly knows who are its parents? What family is it born into? what's the bank account balance?What luxury cars do they have? Nothing...it just reciprocates the touch of love, care & warmth it gets with equal amount of it to all. A stray dog wandering about ,give him a piece of bread,he will remember it always..! The biggest happiness on the earth cannot be bought by money. These are beyond the commercial equations of money. The first touch of your child when born, the secured feeling you get around your loved ones, the joy in the eyes of your parents on your achievement, the getting wet in the first showers, helping an old person out, playing around with kids, dancing off to the tunes of your favorite songs without worrying that some one is watching you, a night walk with your partner, a sleep in your mom's lap, resting head on your dad's shoulder and forgetting all the worries, giggling around with your friends and many more....Money cannot buy a family its whole new ,well-behaved generation, nor its happiness & achievements, nor does money give you shoulder to rest your head on. Its just what man created for his convenience. We created something so not special yet so hard to get, yet so mortal. But God's creations are all free of cost, yet eternal & immortal.
We have forgotten that we have created money & not the other way around. We have allowed money to penetrate so deep into our hearts, emotions, relations that it has taken to control us & now rules unquestioned. Money can create, can destroy, can make people run in their sleep, can change people. Money can do anything for us. It is this power of money that we lust for. No-one is an exception. At some point or other in our lives we have always wanted to be the richest in the world. It is this addiction to money that we don't realize that our happiness and its quality of it are shrinking at a faster rate. We don't realize that the money which can create; can destroy as well. As a matter of fact it has destroyed. When we get a easy way to earn money we opt for it ,hardly realizing what we are signing up for..!! Money has now been a rift-creator in families, generations have been estranged to each other just because of money.
We take a look at the judicial prospective of money we'll find that some where or the other money is the culprit. It has created monsters around us. Money has made friends deceive each-others trust, put love on stake,kill parents, kidnap kids ,molest women & of all end up in nothing but jail.
It is time we realize that money is like ego. Its a double ended knife. Its the sense that we as human beings need to inculcate into the money run system of ours that there may be a day when money may be over, but life will continue. Yes money can buy you a house, but its the people who make it home. It can get you expensive clothes but not respect. It can get the best possible food but not health.
Money is necessary, but not so much that everything runs on it. Its just that we make a point of understanding that should you die rich of money or rich of life??!! The choice is yours to make & live with it..!! Choose cautiously, because whatever you choose money or life, you will die..you'll perish off with time passing by &will be forgotten. Life has a better & stronger chance to be remembered than money.
Yet we live with it &continue our monetary lives as they were, pondering on this thought for a while not knowing what to do..!! The obvious need be answered, it should just be done &you'll know....
Have a life....!! Which one..??!! Choice is yours...!!!
