Money is a source of power. People from all over the world believe this, particularly businessmen and politicians. The more profit a business makes, the more power it has to make money by lowering both the buyer's and the supplier's power. People strive to make money to fulfill their needs, and to even control other people's lives as well. They strive for it all the time. Some people will even give up their dignity to chase it, or even in some cases, give up their lives for it. Many people believe that money has power because they think it brings them happiness, or it is the ultimate measure of success.
But they are just pieces of paper, right? How can pieces of printed paper gain so much prevailing power to control human beings? The truth is, society itself, has granted the power to money, and has given it permission to control us. People even pass this belief on to the next generation just by showing off a new purchase, such as a luxurious car, to their neighbors and friends.
However, money is not all powerful. Money cannot buy everything. It can buy a house, but it cannot buy a family. It can buy a clock, but not time. It can buy a book, but not knowledge. It can buy a bed, but not sleep. And it can buy medicine, but not health. Having money does not always equate to power either, as powerful figures in the world do not have to be rich, such as Mother Theresa. Although she was poor, she was one of the most influential figures in the world because of her beautiful mind and caring soul.
Of course, spending money is fun, because it gives people the power to buy what they want. However, most of them tend to spend more than what they can afford. Thus, money gains the power to control people’s lives by putting them in debt. Although there is nothing wrong with spending money, people should learn to balance the power and not let it take control of them. In order to do so, they should know more about the money they earn by first, developing a budget and then working from there. Planning is the key to successfully controlling money. Remember, when planning your budget, spending is necessary, but saving is also important for the future needs, such as for retirement. In addition, sharing with your community brings you and your community joy.
In closing, money is by no means powerless, nor is it evil. It is an important medium of exchange, and also a necessary product derived from human civilization. But people must make positive use of money, in order to truly bring along happiness and success.
