In The End Of The Day It's All About Money
Last Update On November 28, 2011
I really hate when I see rich people on TV saying things like: “Money ain't everything. Money can't by happiness.” Although the words are somewhat true why the very same people don't give all of their money to me or you if it's not important.
I was born in a middle class family. When I was a young kid we had plenty of money to live normally - buy enough food, clothes and so on. But later we had hard years. Both of my parents lost their jobs and I honestly don't want to remember those days. They were hard. So that's why I'm sick of rich people diminishing the importance of stable financial situation.
Money alone will fail to make you happy but that's true for everything alone. I don't care who you are you need money to be happy. A lack of money will depress you and you won't be able to express your best qualities because we live in a material world not in Disneyland where everything is possible.
When you are hungry to death everything changes. I mean everything. You start to see everything different and you certainly don't have time or strength to think about anything else except finding food. When there's nothing on the table the color of your shoes or your clothes material is the last thing to worry about. Same goes for the brand of your cell phone, computer...When the fridge is empty you won't care about the latest iPhone or some other gimmick.
Rich people may have other problems. Fine. But what's a bigger problem - not having enough money to send your kids to school, buy them clothes...etc or “fixing” your relationship. The truth is that poor people have the same problems as rich people when it comes to family decisions for example but on top of that they have to deal with misery.
Money is the greatest tool for those who have it and a an executor for those who don't. Money may fail to buy love but it can buy almost everything else - power, respect, freedom...And to those saying that money and love don't have correlation I have only one word, or two - FUCK YOU. If you see the person next to your in pain because she/he has to work for pennies in order to survive it certainly hurts.
Life is unfair. Some get a lot without moving their finger and others never have a chance. That's the truth. The kid born in a rich family in America is not technically better than a poor kid born in India for example but guess who has more chance to have a better life.
"Bro. But more money does not equal a better life."
Then why don't you give your money to me and show me how it's done. I remember watching a documentary about a poverty and one rich “gentleman” from London said the following: “How do you measure happiness? If you observe a family from London it will most likely smile less than the poor families on this island.”
What? If you are like this one you better get the hell out of here. I would like to see the rich deputies and so on try to live on island for a few months and to enjoy their smiles. At least they may lose their huge fat guts. Money may not be a guarantee for a better life but its absence is certainly a guarantee for a painful one.
"Bro, but rich people worked hard for the money. They deserve it. U MAD?"
Do they really deserve it? Really? Like I said there are a lot of people who were just born in rich families. Yes, there are others who have worked really hard to reach their status but those are usually the ones who know the feeling of being poor and are most likely to support and help others. I don't think the majority of the rich people deserves to have more money than the population of the poor countries. So if you are a rich snob maybe it's time to look around and help others instead of worrying why your girl/boyfriend does not understand your feelings or what's more classy iPhone 5 ot iPhone 5.1.

The truth is of course that money is extremely important in our world. Maybe if you find yourself on a desert island it won't matter how much money you have but in the world we live lack of money can make your life living hell.
