Money & Materialism

Imagine an old man whose greedy end of life approaches. For years, he ignored his friends and family he was so concerned about always wanting to earn more money. But now he is old, he lives alone in an empty house. He cursed himself for not having realized earlier what was really important in life. Nobody wants to end up like him: we want to benefit from the love of our family and our friends. Is not it?

Only materialistic people are concerned about earning more money. Is not it ? But wait a minute? This view of money is it really correct? Is it really the source of all evil?The burden of having to earn money weighs heavily on the shoulders of those who are poor. Most of us do not go to work for fun but because they need money to ensure that their families have a roof over their heads and food on their plates . Without money, no clothes, recreation, transportation , no life after all ! It’s not for nothing that we spend much of our lives to earn money.

Money does not buy happiness you say. I grant you, although I think he makes very much. But does this mean to claim the reverse, money makes unhappy? It is hard to defend you admit. But then with all the reasons that we may want to earn more money, why?
