Money. Can we human beings think of nothing else? People can never have too much cash but they ALWAYS never have quite enough. I will always remember being a child who could get whatever she wanted but there are some who cannot afford the things they need.
Being poor is not shameful and being rich is not a sin. I think it’s how you spend your money that defines your status. I have been born into a middle class family, where we can afford the necessities of life and some luxuries. I also have amazing parents who care for me and who work hard to provide me with the things I want and need. I dislike it immensely when young people spend their parents’ money with so much ease. I myself, take an extremely long time choosing and comparing with quality and cost. As a child you don’t realize that adults do have to work for cash and you get into a full rage when they refuse to buy that one piece of candy you want. Now at 15 I realise that adults work extremely hard to earn their money.
Money can be loved, loathed, wanted and needed. Why do people want money? It makes them feel secure and they think it brings them happiness. I don’t believe it brings happiness, money just brings a feeling of power and being able to get the things you want. Some people think that they don’t like money. I don’t think it’s the money they hate. It is the people who flaunt the fact that they have money. They can be jealous of people who freely spend their money on things that don’t have a purpose. Maybe if money was given to those who need it, it would bring happiness to a few people. So many people in the world need money. Poverty is one of the biggest issues in the world. 8 million people die each year due to poverty. Any amount of money donated could help those who live in poverty. Imagine how good it would feel to give money to the less fortunate?
The fact is that money is good. It takes money to buy homes, cars, clothes, food and most of the good things in life. It seems that money flows away from the people who use it poorly, or who spend it in non-productive ways. At the same time it tends to flow towards people who can use it in the most productive ways to produce valuable goods and services, and who can invest it to create opportunities to benefit others. Money has a mind of it’s own and as it should, is largely attracted to those people who treat it well.
