This essay will be quite long & a little
bit boring but its TRUE!!
read it patiently...
you will agree with it~
Realistically speaking, money is an important thing in
everybody's life. We need money for almost everything
that we want. In short, we cannot live without money!!
Many of us try to get by with whatever money we have but
all of us would like to have more.
We know that $$ can bring us many luxuries and
pleasures. We imagine that people will look up to us
only if we have money. Money can buy almost anything so
much so we may think it can even buy happiness.
That is where we make the blunder and allow money
to rule our lives. That is when $$ becomes the root of
many evils~
Thus we read daily about people fighting to get into
power. Those in power then make use of their position
to line their pockets. Corruption is rife, funds are embezzled
and well-known figures feature in scandals that 'rock'
society. In this quest for $$, many evils are committed.
Some leak out into public view, a lot are kept behind closed doors.
A successful man accumulate his wealth "for the sake of
his children." When he dies, his children fight for the wealth.
The dream of one man is shattered by the very objects of
his dream. $$ control their lives.
For the sake of more $$, a person with enough greed can
do almost anything to get it. Banks and goldsmith shops
are held up at gun-point. Burglars break into houses.
Young thugs extort from innocent victims. Girls
sell themselves. Policemen take bribes. Parents gamble
their families into poverty. Even the honest ones are
not spared the chains thrown around them by $$.
From young, children are asked to work hard so that
they can do will in the studies. What is the purpose behind
the effort to do well? $$ again rear its ugly head. By doing well
in his studies, a person stands a better chance of getting a
'better paying' job. 'Better paying' means more $$. More
$$ means more happiness, or so they mistakenly assume.
Despite all the wealth a person has, happiness will elude him
if he puts happiness on his wealth. Howard Hughes died rich
but forlorn. Big tycoons hire bodyguards to protect themselves.
The not-so-rich ones work themselves to the point where
suddenly they find that they are too old or sick to enjoy
their wealth, if they have any. The average man works for $$.
$$ has imprisoned them.
What else can be said about $$?? Well, we can let it work for
us so that we do not become obsessed and enslaved by it,
or we can work for it so that we become its slave and reap
all its evil that it can give.
