What Money Can't Buy

What Money Can’t Buy

As a student studying economics, of course i always study something that has something to do with money. The maximum benefit of something that can be bought with the lowest cost. The basic principle of economics. Although honestly, in high school i was a science student back in high school, I know there are a lot of things that even money can’t buy.

Money. A simple word that is not as simple as it sounds. With it people could be anything they want, they could control people, they could be on top of the government, they could buy things they want. They study hard, they work hard, all is for one purpose. It is to gain Money. We can’t live without money, we know that. We use money to fulfill our humanly desires; to eat, to sleep, to live. But money is not everything. We can buy our needs and wants from it but it can’t buy true happiness. There are many people in this world that is super rich, multi-billionaire, etc. but are they happy? Are they truly happy with all the money they have? I think the answer is no. Because money doesn’t guarantee true happiness, they only buy pleasure. And it is temporary because the pleasure we get from something will diminish over time. While true happiness will not.

I remember a quote that I read long ago on the Internet.
“Money. It can buy a house,
But not a home.
It can buy a clock,
But not time.
It can buy you a position,
But not respect.
It can buy you a bed
But not sleep
It can buy you a book
But not knowledge
It can buy you medicine
But not health
it can buy you sex, but not love It can buy you blood
But not life
So you see money isn’t everything
And it often causes pain and suffering”
Now what we need is to analyze the difference between what money CAN buy and CAN’T buy. These words are similar, but they are not the same.
Yes, money can buy you things that you want, but they can’t give you what your inner soul really needs, a true blessedness. A home, time, respect, knowledge, health, life
