This ia a very good debate. It indicates that people have started realizing that money cannot buy all things. In fact, attachment with money and materialism have done great harm to our personalities. The more we move towards money, the more we are away from our real self. Why do we not have now in the world great personalities like G.B.Shaw, Sir Winston Churchil, Roosewalt, Nehru, Patel, Gandhi, Madanmohan Malviya, film makers like Vimal Roy, Guru Dutt? All these persons had strong individual convictions, ideals and goals and they devoted their whole lives for realizing the same. If they earned money, if was just a by-product. Now there are no such great personalities because all persons are the same - they are busy towards collecting either their ist crore or 1000th crore. They may be in different professions, but it does not matter. Their main aim is to make money. As such, their mental makeup the same. There are non personal idiosyncracies.
Bill Gate realised the futility of collecting more and more money and has left out of the race and has vowed to devote his life for social causes.
In fact, for any spirtual advancement, attachmennt with money is a great hindrance. Lust for material comforts affects our consiousness, limits our awarness leaves us barren inside.
