Sometimes deep down my heart and deep inside my head, there lives a doubt, a kind of fear about the things around me.It feels as if I am stepping into a world of wonders where everything seems simple and inviting yet complicated and dangerous.For a second I feel everything going smooth and my life looks good for me.After a flick of second when I lie down on my bed alone and as my mind wanders off, I often get distracted with every little scenes and situations occurring around, some from present and some adds from the past.
One thing which literally keeps striking hard on my head is the word "Money" Everytime, anywhere and everywhere its impossible to live our life without it.Indeed it has become the source of our happiness indirectly, it has been an important asset to be worshipped.But its consequences are the unending greediness and desires for wealth and pleasure.Now the time is not like those days when our ancestors used to have barter system to fulfill the needs and wants.There is drastic change which all of us can see with our very own eyes.As high as the post of prime ministers and as low as the beggars all look for money, the difference between the two is the former is rich and works for more money to improve living standard but the later is poor and begs for money to have single meal a day to survive.However the ultimate goal is "Money"
My college life demands me more money and time, the Dental course costs me lots.From the pen to those instruments for clinicals, I have to arrange everything.I often get broke and my account stays dry.Moreover to keep my scooty running I do have to refuel it which doesn't come free.I do get financial assistance from my family and I am happy to have their support.But amidst their help sometimes I literally get broken down with only a hundred rupees in my bank account.Those days I start to wonder about "Money"- The ultimate source of wealth and pleasure.Money can buy a little share of luck, a little deal of time and a little share of happiness.When my account is smiling me with those shiny new notes, I go out for dinning with my friends, buy my stuffs, or go around with my glowing new shirts and bright shoes.Even my scooty sparkles in the sun,looking perfect after a good refuelling and servicing.
Money is a powerful mood-maker or mood-breaker.When you are so broke without even a good amount to have a good meal, it literally and morally makes you feel low and brings down your self esteem.The other way round, if you possess wealth, you can walk with your head held high, becoming an exhibitionist and enjoying all the comforts it showers upon you.Now there is something called as "Debt", the money due to be paid to the lender.Either friendship breaks or the borrower gets insulted for not returning it back on time.Sometimes it becomes the root cause for misunderstanding within families.Some sell their bodies for money and some kill for money. Money can lead us upto such an extent as high as heavenly comforts or as deadly as the insecurity of life.
Once everyone might have tried to think and wondered what would have been the situation in absence of it. What if there was no such asset as "money"? Would there be jobs? What about developments or change in the world? Will people become active or lazy? Would there be any greediness or desires? Would there be any buy and sell? Will there be still love and care in family? Would there be distinction as rich and poor? How will the people cope up with each other? How will the nations stay united and friendly? Will there be happiness? Will the life be as adventurous and worthwhile?The chains of questions are uncountable.
Now the final question all needs to ask ourselves is that, "Is money everything??"I can neither give a definite answer to this nor I can conclude regarding it.Everyone needs to give one thought about it.It is aptly said, "Money will buy a bed but not sleep; books but not brains; food but not appetite; finery but not beauty; a house but not a home; medicine but not health; luxuries but not culture; amusements but not happiness; religion but not salvation; a passport to everywhere but heaven."Depending on the situation, money can be everything or it can be nothing,we need to remember it and act accordingly.
