I remember having heard something like this before...
money can buy you books not knowledge. money can buy you a bed not sleep. money can buy you medicines not health.
what's the point in having a billion and not being able to get a peaceful sleep.. thesedays it is very easy to get blinded by money.. however beyond a certain level money fails to bring happiness...moreover it does not come alone, it brings misery along...If someone has money who knows whether it bring him happiness or sorrow...its contribution to society that counts more than your bank balance..
to me money is simply the tool to extract work from other human beings..nothing more..nothing less...
