Money

"No money No talk" taken from a Chinese song

Money

Is it true that money is the most valuable thing in our life, like the way we need oxygen in order to survive? In my opinion, money is not as significant as how it is being perceived of but maybe there are some who view the importance of it as equal to God. Yet, it all depends on one’s thought. It is a fact that without money, our life will be hard, but do not means suffer. Rationally, it counts on how we continue our life and how we get through with it with or without much money.

Money, why is it so omnipotent until it could control one’s mind? How could it enhance our life? Generally, it is one of the human creations for bargaining that slowly have great power against human morale. Money is use to buy things that are needed and simplified our life since we do not have to carry out barter system like how human does in donkey’s years. Money can fulfill our needs and make our life more comfortable. For rich people, they tend to live a luxurious life using money they had earned. They are rich enough to buy things even though it is not necessary. Money could also enchance a person’s authoritative and turns what are impossible to possible. Although situation varies subjectively, and with reasons stated above, we can conclude why human aroused by money.

None can defy the importance of money in our life. It could satisfy our needs, for instance, food, dwellings, payment, transport and others, or else, we may starve until die. We obtained food by money, or by planting vegetables and rearing animals to fill our stomach. But it cannot meet our satisfaction because other things are still in the need, for example electric, we could hardly generate energy by ourselves ability. Therefore, money does appear as everything since it connects us with other things. But it is not a truth to be believed. In real matter, we still could survive without money but with own capability but it would be challenging nowadays.

In my opinion, money is not everything as been mentioned foregoes, it is only half of everything. Money cannot works by itself; it needs to collaborate with others. This statement reveals that there are things that cannot be bought by money such as family love, happiness and relationship. There are no ways to buy these things but through our heart. If we use money to buy these things, we are actually showing our disrespect towards the person. As for the oxygen, we are not charged to get it and its freely granted to us. All of us have the choice to be skeptical or tolerant with what money is but defining the importance role it played in our life is another topic to be ponder off.

Everything in this world has its two sides, which are the negative and positive. Money improves our lifestyles and makes us more comfortable. But at the same time, it also has the power to destroy human and their life. For those who engrossed to have more money, they will start thinking to gain more money in a short time. This is the starting point of crimes. Money shackles people mind. They only think of the way to earn more money in a short time without hard work. They rob, threaten and corrupt others. They become bad and cruel and have no mercy over others as they are all blinded by money. Thus, it eventually causes the larger impact like country becoming unstable and has no peace with unstable social growth. As human, we cannot let money overwhelms our mind as the consequences are rather daunting. Instead, we should also use money to live a happy life without too much of worries.
