Life had never been so beautiful, so cool, so chilled out. Not a worry about the world, not a thing to bother you! What else do you want in life? Oh wait a minute. There is. Ofcourse there is. One more thing that you need very badly. Money!
You need to brush your teeth, you need money. You need to have breakfast, you need money. You need to give someone a call, you need money. You need to study, you need money. you need to buy someone a present, you need money. you need to be in tune with the world's latest trends, you need money. Everything you do requires money. Moreover, even to get hold of a job to earn money, you again need money! Isn't that surprising, how much we are dependent on money? Money; something that we created once upon a time to make trade easier is now ruling our lives. It has become much more than mere pieces of paper. It is wealth, it is status, it is class. It is a parameter to judge a person.
But why does our world revolve around money? Is there nothing in this world that can be achieved without money? There is. Ofcourse, there is. We just need to identify those simple things and spread joy amongst people to make ourselves and others less materialistic.
Nice post. Forces the reader to think about the most-taken-for-granted topic of all times..

ReplyDeleteu know gauri..i have always 'hated' the fact that 'money' is essential to all of us..it is a necessity and a key to achieve or rather maintain our happiness..money is never in my priority list...the first thing i think of is being caring...helpful and sweet to those around you... keep it up..im glad to see that so many around me are so humble... :)

Thanks Sandy and Bishnu...even I am glad that there are people who put other things in life above money...
ReplyDeleteWhile i agree that money is required to lead a life, i am appaled as to how success is measured in terms of how much money you have. I am glad that you have realised that life has much more to offer than just money.
ReplyDeleteWish could have been longer, nicely written..
ReplyDeleteYes Abhi life surely has a lot of things to offer that we often miss out on..I am sure if we try appreciating even one small thing each day, we will be freeing ourselves from at least a little bit of frustration and tension...
ReplyDeletethank you Romeo sir...will surely write longer pieces henceforth...
