This article is in response to a seminar i attended a time ago.Something made really no sense to me back then.That entire focus of the seminar was about making money and huw we could be up there earning big bucks like Warren Buffet and what we could do.That entire idea made me feel really uncomfortable.Are we that enslaved to our financial committment that is making money OUR main priority.And most importantly,Why is the idea/notion of “people going out to all lengths to make money”such a norm now.?
THE OVERVALUE OF THE DARK SIDE
Sadly, the turn of century has led to very subtle development in our senses. Especially ones involved in placing value to objects. You see, no matter how humans try to fend great humility and be gracious, the very same humans end up being very greedy and ungracious all at the same time. And funny enough, they do that by fooling themselves by thinking that they are behaving as the latter.
Our society has preached hugely on morality by begging us to choose the ‘right zone’ and by adopting proper moral conducts. One very old trait that it has been trying to get rid of is our Greed. Citizens have been constantly urged not to over place the importance of money and prevent it from ruling the lives of theirs. Not that it has been really harmful ,but just that it should never be the motivation for our way of life. Many have gone ahead to place Money in the great evil zone. Yet we all know the very nature of money: We can’t live without neither can we have enough of them.
However ironically, no matter how this passage has sounded,we are not here to debate the very moral area of money or its importance. We are here to mock its very ironic influence on our Lives.
“No…Money is not important. It won’t rule my life”
That’s a phrase you could be hearing every day, yet the ‘sayer’ preaches the very opposite. Thats the very situation in our very ironic world. We practise what we preach to abstain from. We have gone ahead to place such great importance in earning the very dollar, that we have gone to lengths that we would not have imagined. Humans have lost their very independence, freedom of free spirit, their clarity and most importantly their humanity.
Slaves. That’s the word I would use to describe Humans. Without even thinking, they have sold their independence to an Object [money] that threatens our morality. They are hooked on the idea of having money, that people are working even harder than before. Next best thing, the very same people are coming up with ways to make even easier money. So much effort in earning the bill that rules our lives. One statistic would resonate very clearly in every money making conference or get rich scheme
“Nearly top 20percent of the richest people in the world has the combined incomes of the rest of the 80 percent. Now how did they do it? Now so can you…”
God, the next time I hear that I am surely going to throw a physical item I will be clutching in my palms. The world assumes one fact that: Every human wants to be rich. You do not hear this question very often and I dare someone to pose this question to any-human who says like above quoted:”Have you ever wondered, why the rest of the 80 percent aren’t doing anything to even climb the ladder or try to own the world. Like maybe say…. they are comfortable where they are?”
