The way we live our lives now, is like we only came to earth to look for money. Life seems not to have meaning if you don't have money. So everything about us revolves around money.
When you even try to argue that there is more to life, after a second thought, you will realise that without the money, you cannot find the more that is to life.

Even in our families, for you to have a say, you must be able to proof that you can back up your words with money. Even the least places where money shouldn't be a thing of much concern, happened to be the places where money reign supreme. I Mean the places of worship.
Every of our activities for most part of our lives is in search for money. From Monday to Saturdays, we go to work in search for money. the students going to school is to have a huge pay cheque after graduation. Even in our places of worship, people with money are exhorted.
This explain the reason behind many vices in our society today. Stealing, ritual killings, fraud, extortion war, and many more. I sometimes hear some young people asking, of what benefit is it to life, if you live 100 years on earth in poverty? This is a valid question that requires soul searching, that may likely provide answers to what life is really all about aside looking for money.
The things that should matter, like love, honesty, truth and humanity seem to be of less importance. And life seem to have no meaning without money. Even me writing this article do not know how to convince anyone that, there is more to life than looking for money.
But then, was that the original plan of God for man?.
If no, where did we get it wrong? And how are we going to get right?
