Why people always want to earn money? why they always think and focus in earning money? actually I heat to say that but i sign here in Mylot not for earning Money but to entertain myself, socialize with people all over the world.However, i dont oppose the idea if someone need money from Mylot which i dont. What i'm saying here is people start running for money and they dont know where they will be at the end of this race.I heat to be materialistic and i dont like people who think that Money is everything in this world. sometimes people chooses their friends, neighbor who have a high social rank of wealth. so what do you think is money important than everything in your life that you may choose something in your LIFE that you didnt want in the first place because of MONEY?

Money is desired not for its own sake but for what it can buy or command. Obviously, everybody requires money for one thing or the other, basically to command food, housing and clothing. Outside the basic needs, there are a great many things that man needs, or at least wants. They include a car, a vacation, entertainment, health and knowledge. If money is desired for the basic necessities and other items of convenience, and nobody is harmed in the process, there should be no problem with that. However, if money is sought after by all means and for all imaginable things, then a problem ensues here. Moreover, if money is worshipped to the extent that all other things or people which/who could not be relevant to its procurement is sidelined, a problem has come in also. Unfortunately, money cannot command everything. It cannot bring about good health, happiness or children, though it can merely attempt to do so. In some cases, money can even lead to unhappiness. If money is desired for one thing or the other that one needs or wants, it would be madness to desire it for something one does not need. For instance, some people marry the wrong persons or tke up the wrong jobs because of money, and end up being unhappy all their lives. This is bad, and should be discouraged. Money is not everything.
