This is definitely an interesting and debatable topic…
We all understand that we can't do much for ourselves or those we love if we don't have money. We are all busy fighting for survival. We all are so busy in this rat race of achieving more with every passing moment. We have completely ignored the fact that we are losing a lot of precious time that we could have spent with our friends and family.
Friends & Family – You do not have money you actually have almost no friends or friends who do not have money. Friends are many but true friends are very few, so you would have friends without money but only a handful. You can’t keep your family happy without money. Talk about buying just flowers for your wife on her birthday every year. How about taking your family out for dinner/movie only once or twice a year. You can’t afford your fathers bypass surgery in a good hospital, and you see him die in a govt. hospital. You can’t send your children to good private schools to ensure they have a good future.
Home – How about living in a small home with no basic amenities available. In summers you sweat like a pig as you cannot afford an air-conditioner.
Happiness – This is very subjective. With all the above mentioned problems, I don’t see any reason to be happy about.
Immortality – Money can’t buy you immortality but it can definitely assure you a long life. It can delay what is inevitable. If you do not have money you do not even have a fair chance of survival.
