MONEY

All I have ever heard about money from people is that it is a necessary evil. Its not good, but you cant make without it. They will speak of idiotic things, perpetuating irrevocable arguments, just to say that money is basically bad. They portray poor people as pure and virtuous, and rich people as heartless blood suckers. Societal perceptions are carried forward by masses; the perception pulling down the money makers has been perpetuated by the non-achievers who hate themselves. But everyone knows the truth, and they're not strong enough to admit it. They try to shy away from their inability to make money by damning those who can make it. They prefer to damn money and live in their own mirage....

They say money is not important.
I say it is the most important thing in the world. Your chances of meaningful survival don’t stand a chance in the absence of money.

They say money is not everything.
I say money is almost everything. Money is like a sixth sense - and you can't make use of the other five without it. One of the most ridiculous arguments I've heard, "What if you are permanently crippled, with both hands and both legs severed. Can money prevent that?" They speak as if the loss which money can’t prevent won’t occur if you don’t have money. Pure 100% Bullshit.

They say money is evil.
People have forgotten that there is nothing pure than hard earned honest money. Money is not evil. The actions which people take to make money make it evil. That creates BAD money. As Billy Graham said, “If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.”

They say money brings trouble and unhappiness.
I say money prevents unhappiness and brings pleasure. The problems associated with spending BAD money bring troubles and problems. As Franklin D. Roosevelt said, “Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.”

They say money corrupts people.
I say money relieves people of corruption and pushes them towards a peaceful, honest and virtuous life. People get corrupted by the power they feel is they have money. This power is the rotten form of the self assurance that money brings.

They say money kills one's emotions.
Really? I thought about it. But how do you feel when you see your bank statement? Isn't the sight of financial backup emotional? Doesn't it mirror your capability, your knowledge, your worth? Don't you feel an emotion when you spend money; to fulfill your daily needs, to provide for your family, to prevent a catastrophe in someone's life? It is the greatest emotion one could feel.

They say you'll become a slave of the greenback.
I say they become slaves of their own greed. This happens when people perceive money as their goal. Money is a by product of a higher goal, not the goal in itself.

They say money makes you blind to the things worth living for.
I say money gives you rightful access to things and facilities which make life worth living for. As Henry Ford said, “If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.”

It is the greatest virtue to make money. It is the most moral and noble act. Create wealth. Create value. That, is the essence of life.
