Money is not the most important thing in our life.
Money is certainly something which is often discussed In today world. Hardly a day goes by without the subject of money being raised in most people.However ,it is highly debatable whether it is more important than other thing , such as health ,mentality and happiness , which some people consider to be more great significance or more priority. It is also often argued that having money enables people to exert influence over other people and make them to do something.
So in my opinon ,money is not the most important thing in life,at least there are a lot of thing such as health and happiness and authority being more important than money. I've been thinking for some time on the merits of money. I hope to make a lot of money because money make you have good life.Money also makes things easy . Money is much better than barter, as you can imagine and allows us to easily exchange one objections for another. I think it is not appropriate that adding a another element to a trade makes the trade easier . In fact, that's what I has started thinking about it . What is it about money that we want so much？
So money is wealth, right or not? Actually, I think it is no wealth . so it depends on how you define wealth. Some people think that money is actually the opposite of wealth. That's because wealth was defined as stuff you have and you can either have stuff or money. In other words, you can have a fancy car, or much money but not both. Similarly, You can have a lot of food or have a lot of money. Having enough food to eat for a year is having wealth, but having enough money for food for a year is not anything because if the food disappears before you get to buying it, you don't have it when you really need food. I think it is profound because it means that money is how you store wealth, but it isn't actually true wealth.
That is a nice thought, but it doesn't explain how money works. we don't really understand fully all implications about money working . There are a lot of thinking around about money. In fact, a lot of them are fascinating, but not really relevant. What people really want to know is when money is good ,why people want more of it, and when money is bad because it is pretty obvious that people with a lot of money seem worse off something.
Good or bad, Maybe not intrinsically, but some things seem to affect us one way or another way, so we guess what we are really asking is what about money affects us for good, and what affects us for bad.For the good, I want money because it stores wealth and prepares for my future life. I mean, if I have enough money, I will feed my family ,provide fee to my children studying , have a good quality life and be able to convince some strangers to part with stuff they have and I want. Having money is purportedly better than not having money because you can not live in no house , entertainment , clothes and food. I can believe that. I mean, we need stuff and since money is only thing we obtain it, so money is necessary and proportionally important.
For the bad, I have come to believe that money harm us because it masks overly our dependencies. People often say that someone is independently wealthy. With enough money, it is easy to believe that you don't need other people. You don't need to listen to your parents ,boss, police, neighbor, friend and so on because you can do just fine thing without them. If you had a million of dollars, you would not need me and others . This is a pernicious things. Just because you have had money, It doesn't mean you are less dependent on those around you. You still need to depend on the farmer to grow food, on the doctor to learn medicine and treat diseases, on the police to catch criminals, on the architectural workers to build house , and on the mechanic to fix your car. All about those you are necessary .Just because you can pay somebody to do it for you today, doesn't mean you will be able to pay somebody to do it for you tomorrow. So money isn't wealth. Think about all those things people say to rich people: snob, aloof, conceited and arrogant. It should be a warning that money can artificially separate us from our fellow human beings including relatives and friends. That's some serious stuff. So I think that money is necessary , but It is not the most important thing in our life. [标签:content1][标签:content2]
