Money..money..money

Money..money..money.Is it everything in the world? Can it buy you all the happiness you need?
After a long time, some thought is provoking me so much that I had to come back to my blog. I see so many people around me going mad after money, spoiling their health, spending sleepless nights with all work tension, having almost no time for their family..All this, just to live a luxurious life - to give mobile phone to their children even if they don’t need it, to busy a new car even if they have two which are running good enough, to buy a home theater even you have good enough big flat screen TV at home. I don’t say, we shouldn’t have passion to fulfill such dreams. But I do feel that we should not spend half our life thinking how to acquire money and then acquiring money just to fulfill our dreams which are not ‘needs’ just luxuries! I have a question in my mind, 10 years down the line what would you like to give back to your children a decent life and your time or only a luxurious life? If I were to choose between the two, I would have chosen the first one. Because I think there’s no end to human desires and happiness resides in a contented mind. Some one has rightly said (I don’t know who!)

मेरे दिल के किसी कोने मे एक मासूम सा बच्चा
बडों की देख कर दुनिया, बडा होने से डरता है!

true mam, i'm a firm believer that money should be your slave and not your master. And for that what you need is a passive income, may be thats why world is going crazy

There is nothing more than values, integrity.

Dont you think money gives you a purpose to life? Life is too cruel and one needs purpose to get going!!!

Hmmm...Money is a necessary but not a sufficient condition to live.

We have better reasons to live than money.
