IT’S ALL ABOUT MONEY, HONEY!
There is an amusing story about a middle class man who had got his posting in Shimla. Obviously he was happy anticipating some years amidst the beauty, serenity and wonderful weather of Shimla. His kids and wife were equally excited imagining the ice they’ll enjoy during the Shimla winter, something they were planning to experience for so many years. However in reality, though the excitement did not last for many days, but they were enjoying their stay adapting to the new place. Adding to his joy were some of his friends and relatives, who took all the troubles to travel all the way just to meet him. He even made some friends in his new office.
Things took a different turn when he found slowly that too many of his friends and relatives became keen to meet him. His life in that new place started to settle, and so was his visitors, if someone was leaving a day, someone else was coming the same or next day. Needless to say, these entire guests used to enjoy free and comfortable stay in his house. The number of guest increased to an alarming condition in almost all the seasons. If somebody wants to see the ice in Shimla, somebody wants to enjoy some cool days in Shimla during hot summer. The guests were making his pocket swallow day by day. He was unable to find any way to get rid of so many visitors without hurting anyone, which was disturbing his day to day life as well as financial condition severely. His only console was his friend in his new office, with whom atleast he was being able to share his miseries.
Suddenly one fine day his friend realized that, for some time the man has not complained about his guests. He seemed to be happy too. “The poor guy must have got self actualized and accepted it”, his friend thought. Days passed, and the man continued to look happy without any irritation or complain. The friend could no longer hold it any more and asked the man one day, “What happened to your guest? Have you started enjoying their company?”, to which the man replied, “I’ve found a magic formula”. Obviously the friend became curious to know what the magic formula is. “It’s all about money dear! I’ve started lending money to my poor visitors and taken loan from the rich ones. Obviously, nobody turned up again. Spreading of the rumor about this bad nature of mine did the rest”.
Money in fact plays a vital part in our life and relationship; and the truth is that, in many situations, it becomes a decisive factor. Ask the rich people who says money is not everything, to give you some. Emotions and sentiments has got it’s own share in our life, but in day to day life, our day starts with money and perhaps, ends with money. You can’t imagine a single day stepping out of your home without your wallet. The moment the morning stars, you get ready to go for earning your livelihood. Life is just impossible without a buck in your pocket. Young or old, rich or poor, this is one thing which is equally essential for everyone, something you can’t survive without.
Money is a crucial tasting factor. You can judge the metal of a person when money is involved. Mainly because, its one of the biggest temptations of this world. Is he loyal to you? Is he trustworthy? Is he greedy? Can he overlook the monetary factor for the sake of his heart? Is he ready to part with money for the sake of the relationship you share? A single penny involved can do wonder to you, can be your eye opener. At crucial times, money let you realize on whom you can count & depend on and on whom you can’t, who is your friend and who is your foe. When someone says he doesn’t do corruption in a situation with no opportunity for grabbing money gives its real meaning only when the same person moves around surrounded by easily accessible money and doesn’t even touch it.
Money is one thing which doesn’t have any substitute. Even if your heart breaks today, sooner or later you’ll find someone else to share your grief, to make up your wounds, and to love. It may take time depends on the depth of your relationship and emotions with which you were involved, but it’ll surely heal. This is the reality. Life doesn’t stop for anyone. To put this in the crudest most materialistic way, though there’s no substitute of love, there’s still substitute for your “beloved ones”, but there is no substitute of money. You can’t give up all your money and lead your life with something else. Obviously I’m talking about ordinary people who go to market to buy his essentials, not the saints and extraordinary.
What I’m trying to say is the “need” about money, not the “greed”. The life provides enough for everyone’s need, but nothing in this world can provide enough to satisfy even a single person’s greed. Money has its own usefulness, but nobody should hanker after money. Everyone’s need of money is different depending on the time, place, situation and lifestyle he follows and one should be satisfied if his need is fulfilled. Or else it will be like running after mirage in the desert.
Another interesting thing about money is, it’s just like a butterfly, the more you chase the more it flies away. This is the irony about money. If you work for money, it hardly comes your way. It is something like a by-product of success. If you are successful in any field or profession, money will come automatically to you.
Money and power are like two sides of a coin. Money begets power and power begets money. This relationship between money and power brings the worst thing about money making it one of the vital causes of many enmity and fights. Take up any episode from history, anywhere of the world, and you’ll find the money as one of the root causes at the centre of maximum battles. I find it really heartbreaking to see this trend growing day by day when people don’t hesitate to harm each others, even own brothers just for the sake of money. After all at the end of the day, what you are as a person is all that actually matters, not how much you own.
Like anything else, money has its own limitations. It’s just a means to give your material comfort and time. It can save you from miseries which can be fought with factors available to purchase, like house, medicine, book, wealth etc. It can’t provide you the food for your heart and soul, your intellectual needs, the serenity & strength of your character, courage & wisdom. It can’t make you satisfied, content, relaxed and happy……….or else we would never had to witness Ambani brothers fight. Not only Ambani, there were and will always be many fights between many brothers, friends, neighbors and foes, or many others, as long as this thing called money keep on playing its crucial role in our lives!
