Money

Bill

Cash

Whatever you call it, people need that colored valued-paper.

Some says that money can't buy happiness. Well, when I was younger, I used to think that way too. However, now that I am an adult, I have realized that money can't still buy us real happiness, but it somehow gives people a temporary pleasure. Whether we admit it or not, money plays a very vital role to everybody's life.

Growing up, I have seen how the people around me struggled and fight over the little amount of money. They will do everything they can, just to earn few bucks in order to feed their family.

Money can't buy everything.

It's true. There are things that even the wealthiest people can't afford. At least before.

As I grow older, the world is changing rapidly. The things we thought that cannot be purchase by this thing called "money", are now possible.

Don't believe me? Well then, let's take FRIENDSHIP as an example.

Explain to me why most people will only treat you as their friend if you have this thing?

RESPECT

I've seen how people gives you respect according to your living status and income.

LIFE

People who kills innocent ones and just let the money work, for them to be free and not be counted as responsible to their immoral acts.

________________________

Money may not be everything. But we cannot deny the fact that people who have bigger amount of this asset can do everything they wanted.

In today's era, money rules the world. If you don't have it, you have no value to their sight. It's so rare to find people who will still value you even if you have nothing to give to them.

2 Facts about Money

  • The LOVE of money is the root of all evil.

Money isn't the root of evil, it is the LOVE of money. The moment you started to make this thing as your master, you will no longer know yourself. Don't let anyone or anything control you. Remember that you are the one incharge of your own life.

  • Money doesn't change people, it reveals them.

Over time, I have witnessed how people change because of it. However, I have realized that those people doesn't really change at all. The money just revealed their true colors. Therefore, don't be surprise if the person you dearly know suddenly became unrecognizable when they acquired big amount of money. They didn't change, that's just exactly who they are.

Author's Viewpoint

As for me, money is really important. In fact, we need it to survive. We need it to buy foods and other necessities. Well, money allows me to have the things that I want. It somehow gives me a temporary joy.

However, money isn't everything. It can't give us real friendship, real respect and most of all real happiness. I know a lot of wealthy people but still not happy and contented with their life. They are looking for something that will satisfy their longings and emptiness.

Life is more than the material things. If we will just teach ourselves to appreciate small things and be contented with what we have. Then I guess, we will all live happily.

Don't exchange your loved ones, with the the temporary material possessions.

Money is essential in the things it is used for. We all need it one way or another. I love money but it's a good love I guess :)

Money can buy happiness, yes! what if I tell you I'll buy your favorite dress? What will you feel? Lol. it's a simple logic, money can definitely make us happy for a little while. But the real happiness can't buy money? what it is? It's Love! If I'll give you your favorite dress still can't get your Love I can't buy it either.

You're right love, that money is not the root of evil, The love of money can be the root of evil! I really appreciate that. That's why give me money don't love them. Love me nalang! Haha

True sis, money isn't everything but we need it. It's up to us if we use it for good. I love how you ended your piece sissy, we have to value every little thing we have right now and never exchange someone you love for money or any material things. We'll surely regret it if ever it happens.

It is true that money can’t buy happiness, but I will say that having a lot of money makes one happy. Money does not equates directly to happiness, but it is directly proportional to it. The more money one has, the less sad he’d be.

Yeah I get your point. The more money we have, the lesser the financial problems are hihi

What you have said is true. Money can't buy anything that we want but it gives us a temporary pleasure of satisfaction. I mean sino ba namang may ayaw ng pera diba? Sino ba namang tao yung ayaw magkaron ng maraming salapi para mabuy nila yung mga gusto nila sa buhay. Pero sabi nga nila if you consider money as your world you can't experience genuine happiness.

Yes I agree with you langga. Money can't buy the true happiness in life. There are lot of advantages or disadvantages when it is regarding of money.

Money can change people into a good one but money can change people also into a bad one. All I can say we need to value the money we had.
