Money – A Good Servant but a Bad Master
We often ask ourselves which are the most important things in our life and whether these things depend on money. With regard to the situation we are in, we respond differently. If we are on a deserted island, money is useless – it would not help us survive even if we have it in great quantity. If we are drowning and we are holding in our hands all the wealth in the world, it will not help us but probably prevent us from being saved. However if we exclude such hypothetical situations, in the 21 century, living without money is impossible. And “The more… the more” as Winnie the Pooh said.
Without any doubt, existing nowadays without money is difficult as it is a key necessity for our survival. Money is means and that is its main purpose. But for most people, instead of means, money has become a goal and when this happens, moral and spiritual catastrophe occurs.
It is certain that money opens many doors and gives many opportunities that otherwise are difficult to reach. Money can help us travel around the world and enjoy the wonderful creations of people and nature.
Very often, to reassure ourselves, we say that money is not important. It is widely accepted that human health is most important, that if a person is healthy, he doesn’t need money because he will earn it. But in order to be healthy, a person must lead a healthy lifestyle – exercise regularly, eat nutritious food etc. Nowadays gyms are the most convenient place to exercise and healthy food is often the most expensive in the store. For all that we need money. If a person is sick, with the modern health care reform, he will need a lot of money in order to find the best medical specialists, the most prestigious hospital, and the most appropriate drugs. Of course there are those who even abuse modern medicine. They use their excessive amount of money on unreasonable operations
