Wouldn't the world be a much better place without it!!!!
Why do most of us run behind a few scraps of paper with which we can buy whatever hell we want????
Why is money equated with happiness? Why do some people are obscenely rich while others are so poor that they cannot afford to buy anything?
Money really does make the world go around.... and best part is it is almost fictional.... It is the guarantee of the government that the money is valuable.... Can we take for granted any word said by the government!!!!
History of Money is interesting enough!!!!
Money was invented long before we were industrialized. It was eternally present as mankind itself.
Money in earlier days meant specially cut stones, shells and even salt!!!! Some parts of globe used even huge round granite wheels heavier than a car as currency!!!
But today money has assumed a different form. For the convenience we have money in shape of paper which is guaranteed to have value by the government of the country in which you live in. This was first started by the emperor of China (the same country which gave us noodles... popularized as ramen by Japanese) but slowly gained acceptance throughout the world....
Wait can we fake some paper bills???? Absolutely not.... Now-a-days currency has a gazillion security measures built into it and the process of creation is a carefully guarded secret... otherwise we all would be millionaires.....
Now let us see the psychological aspect of money. In fact there isn't any psychology to it... Just made that up!!!!
Money is equated with status and power in the society. Money gives us the purchasing power to buy anything we like. But does money guarantee happiness? This is question which is highly debated. But both you and me know the answer for this!!!! Definite yes!!!! If not why would be we running behind money!!!!
In some economies yes, more money i.e. average of per capita income of the population shows that greater the money, greater is the happiness. But many underdeveloped and developing worlds are happier than their richer cousins. Anomaly? I think not!!!
Money is valued and cherished by capitalist economies. But hunter gatherers (i mean naked primitives in remote parts of the globe) who have solely depended on nature may find this to be odd, sometimes obscure.
Why do people give such a damn to some silly thing as paper??? According to them, the only good use of money is as kindling!!!!
The money is sure to give us all the worldly pleasures but it does give us satisfaction and contentment. But can money buy happiness???? (Second time repeated the same question)
I can't answer this...... You have to decide n your own......
Happiness is a very relative term, but in general people derive true happiness from their human relations (spouses, lovers and of course family) and happiness derived from spending money.....
Human relations, most importantly love gives us immense happiness that can never be achieved just by giving money. But it sure does feel good when we receive inheritance from our family.....
The emotional aspect makes us feel good, be content in our life and thus makes us a better human being. The rich poor divide is increasing and we are the one to blame for it. Today 2% of population holds 70% of the wealth in the world. The annual profits of companies like General Electric and Ford exceeds the entire budget of all the countries of Sub Saharan Africa.... Of course how will a desert provide anything... Let along money.....
Money is the one thing which is driving this world... (Seriously dude, I have repeated myself twice) Money comes to those who have power; power comes from taking responsibility and leading people.... Also, some ass-holes get money due to sheer luck or being born with a silver spoon.... into some royal family or inheritance of some major business.....
So lets garner up more of this thing... For sure, one thing I can tell you and the world believes in....
Money definitely equates with success!!!!!!
