About Human Beings and Money

Money...the mere utterance of the word sends shivers, signals, fright etc. But why? Are we slaves to money? From the moment we're born we cost money to our parents and till we die we earn money or I could just say till we are economically viable to earn money, before we start to depend on our savings, kids...etc

So in our ever pursuit to create money to buy a house, buy a nice car, go holidays, we tend to forget ourselves a lot and subconsciously compete with friends, celebrities, other peeps.
But experience has taught me that there is a downside to this.

What if someday something happens for you to loose your job, or bad investment which brings you down to a negative cash flow or I'd rather say nothing. What will happen then? What happens to the the half a million dollar house mortgage repayment, and your car repayments etc.

At that instant, the only thing you will be left with will be your loved ones who were there with you initially when you had nothing and will be there for you to lend you something money cannot buy....Support and Love. I guess in our ever lasting search for money in the Rat Race, we should never forget whats important to us as a human being. Money comes and goes, we did not come into this world with it and neither are we going to leave this world with it. Being unattached to money really helps.

So why the stress? I'd rather help the needy by giving it to them, at least I would have made their day and the world we live in would have been a better place.
