AIMING FOR WHAT? MONEY?

Everybody has got different aim of life, but is it really different? Although the aim is different but the ultimate aim is to get financially upgraded. It means whatever you are doing the ultimate motive is to earn money. Everybody is running before money, is it justified way of living? Today the condition is this that “we are for money, money is not for us”. This phrase that looks so simple has a deep meaning behind it. It means we are earning money, money, money for the whole life span, and we spent it mostly to earn more and more money and ultimately we die leaving behind everything we earned.

There are people who are millionaire or even more than that, how much money can they spend on their physical and mental needs, this expenditure must be less than 1% of their whole property. But still they are not satisfied and try to earn anything in expense of anything. In a try to earn more than their natural capability, they loose their mental calm. Is it all justified?

What I feel is one should earn as much as is sufficient to fulfill their basic needs. Most of people say that they are satisfied with what they have but they are earning for their children so that their children have to do least work. But does it really help them? The answer is no, but in the processes they are making their children handicapped by doing so. Ultimately its going to ruin the mental capabilities of children.

Its good to have lesser income, satisfying basic needs of a person, than higher income that brings alongwith various mental diseases such as mental fatigue, high blood pressure, heart attack etc.

According to me the best option should be, if one doesn’t have sufficient income to satisfy basic needs, he should concentrate in developing his physical and mental skills to reach a certain level. Once he is capable and earning sufficiently to satisfy the basic needs, he should change his goal. Now his goals should not be to earn more money, but to make healthy environment around him, spreading love everywhere and leading life full of satisfaction.

Now whatever I discussed, it seems its good only for people above poverty line but in real, it has a deep effect on them. This is because if people stop running before excessive money then definitely there will be financial balancing in the society leading to financial upliftment of poor people.
