Money
doesn’t buy happiness but it helps. Money has become one of the main things in
our modern life. Some people live their lives to earn money. They work hard
trying to earn as much money as they can. Some of them become crazy about it
and lose their dignity hunting money. They don’t appreciate such important
things as family, friendship, love and other feelings. Such people become
greedy. They spend their lives in loneliness.
I don’t deny that money influences our
life a lot. As W.S. Maugham said "Money is like the sixth feeling without which you
cannot make a complete use of the other five.” I quite agree. A person can’t be
happy if he has no money to satisfy his natural needs. But I think that money
should have a limit. A person shouldn’t have too much money. It begins destroying
him and becomes his curse.
The Bible said that the love of money
is the root of all evil. Lack of money is the root of all
evil. To my mind, big
sums of money really bring different problems because people feel very envious
and jealous of other’s fortune. The majority of all the crimes are made because
of money.
I’m among the people who consider that
money is not all-powerful. Humanity, dignity, intelligence, kindness and other
good qualities of a person can’t be bought for money. We’ll never be able to
buy pure love, real friendship and loving and caring family. But life isn’t
worth living without these things. It’s not worth living if money has become
the point of it either.
Money is not one of the most important
things in my life. But it is difficult to live without money. I should learn to
earn money and appreciate money. I should learn to spend money. There is an expression: "Capital can
do nothing without brains to direct it». It is my vital position.
