Most people think money is the answer to everything in the world. They feel it can make all your problems disappear, but is that how a man with all the money in the world and not a cure in sight for a terminal illness feel. What about a young orphan with no family, but has a seven figure sum in his trust fund.
Yeah money does make life easy, but it isn't the source of peace and happiness.
People kill and do all sorts of terrible things, just to get rich. A girl gives up her pride, and decides she will earn with the organ between her thighs. A young man takes to pushing drugs and to hell with the lives being destroyed by it.
Young girls are sold of by family, the people that you should trust with your life.
Sometimes being rich is more of a curse than a blessing. In some countries in the world, being rich makes you a target. You sleep with one eye open, because you are scared of intruders coming into your home to wreck havoc. They come for their own share of your riches, but they sometimes take more than you have to give. Wifes and daughters become victims of sexual assault and sometimes brains get blown up.
Friends aren't really friends, they are just there for the money. Everyone is a suspect, you don't know who really love you genuinely.
So when you see a rich man and you think he has it all, think again. He might not be as happy as that poor farmer with a loving wife and kids, who is content with just being able to provide the basic needs of his family.
Don't compromise who you are, just because you wanna get money. Seek after contentment, its the most important thing.
Like Bob Marley once asked, is money really wealth?
