Day 429

Well, yesterday, I was thinking that how much money matters in one’s life? You may think that what’s the rubbish and stupid question is this. You are free to think anything. But what I think is something different. Its true that money is required to run the daily routine. You need to have money to pay the rent or to make a house to live. You need money to have clothes to wear. You need money for grocery so that you can have your meal. You need money for the vehicle for your transportation. From basic needs to luxury, you need money. But is money required for love between family members? Is money required for true friendship? Is money required for hatred and jealousy? The simple answer is no. then why the world has become so greedy for money.

Its true that everyone wants to have money for the present daily requirement as well as some money in reserve for the future requirement. There is no harm in that. But isn’t that greed is making one isolated from his family and friends. Indeed, in this technological period we have smart phones and we have numerous social networking sites where we are in touch of everyone. But when was the last time with your family where you have spent more time with them rather than getting busy with smart phones. Its very tough to remember. So, what kind of life we are spending now? Where are we heading? Sometimes I think that childhood and college life was much better.

Its true that that at that point of time, our aims were different. But they were honest. At that time, we used to think that I have to become a successful person. I’ll have a huge house, an expensive car and lots of bank balance. Those thoughts were pure. But after coming in professional life, those aims aren’t fulfilled but our intentions become just to have money. For that we sacrifice our health also. But when we fell ill then that money is gone. Somewhere in the middle, we lost the art of balancing the life.
