Money won’t buy you peace

Today if a person has some money, he want to invest it

somewhere so that he earns more. Perhaps he is under

pressure to fulfil the needs of his children or to ensure a

better future for them, but that is the reason why people

are still seeking migration to other countries or leaving

their villages to earn money in the cities.

Businessmen and speculators face huge losses in the

business of stock exchange. They over trade and then

don’t know how to pull out of the mess they land

themselves in.

There is no end to greed. Just like we can neither eat our

food without salt, nor can we eat with excess of salt.

Apply this philosophy to your desires. Certainly, we will

never achieve anything, but we must watch out if these

begin to drive our very existence.

So, where does one draw the line? It is very easy to say

that we should not be greedy and that we should be

content with what we have. But due to rising prices, and

with luxuries now becoming essential, we seem to be

driven to make money anyway.

The result is misery. We see many people in jobs trying to

over reach themselves to gain more or to ensure that they

get that coveted promotion. They become such acute

workaholic that they are unable to give quality time to

families and children.
