Money makes the world go round

None the wiser word have ever been spoken than this. Money makes the world go round. Think about it, now nod your head up and down in agreement. Without money, you cannot survive. It is a commodity that we all need just like air. Just to prove my theory I would like you to think back at the countless beggars asking for money. So with that in mind, even people that have no overheads and that is living on the street, needs money.

This anomaly that we created made us all dependant on itself. We basically exchanged a perfectly working model of trading goods for goods into a corrupt and sometimes immoral system of trading goods for paper. I think the idea of money is novel but in reality we actually have flawed with this one. I suspect that if we had not created it, then we would have been living in a total different world, granted that technologically we would not have evolved half as much as we are at the present moment.

Money causes allot of problems. Let me correct myself...the wrong application of money causes allot of problems. I think that amongst all the great evils that stems from money abuse is corruption. Corruption of the system and corruption of good entities seems to be the result at the end of the day. It leads us to steal from the poor, vulnerable and enrich the rich. We all have experienced the evils that come with money.

Money can’t buy happiness, but it can put a smile on my face, food in my tummy, a roof over my head, a car to drive in and peace of mind. It is true that we are slaves to the system but what about breaking that bond and free the impoveraged. Charities depend on people handing them money and empowering them to uplift those without money. We all owe it to society to pay back to those who have to go without. All of us have benefitted from their demise in some way or another either directly or indirectly, regardless of colour or creed.

Do not let the pursuit of money make you greedy. Do not hold your hands closed towards fellow man. If someone asks you for food, then feed them. Greed is a viscous cycle and it is unfortunately one of the unavoidable evils of money. It changes people. This is where your character plays an important role. If you had to win a multi-million dollar lottery, how would you change? You will eventually be affected by money. You as a person need to establish how money is affecting you. Whether you are poor or rich, it affects us all. Do not let money be your guide to forming who you are but rather measure yourself worth against your moral standing and tolerance for one another.

I think that if you can conquer the influence that money have over yourself then you have achieved what many people will never achieve.
