It's just my observation. this conclusion of mine is based on my parents' argument, cousins' argument, friends' argument, and others. It seems that we argue in different matters but then, there's something that is common to all of us. WE ARGUE ABOUT MONEY. i don't understand why they value money so much that they are ready to give up their relationship/friendship just for that. WHAT DO YOU THINK? do you value your money more than you value your family and friends?

Well, I've written a poem because of money quite a few years back and I've titled it MONEY. Money, Thy name is ecstasy Or is it woe? Oh, how thou mesmerizes Or is it antagonizes? Money, How one can't get enough Or couldn't do without! Does thou give one soul Or makes one without? Money, Thou is the incarnation Of God and Satan both Thou makes salvation And yet creates hell.

Glad you like it. I'm wondering where we can earn with our poems, any idea? Although poems should be for our minds and a means of expressing our inner thoughts, it'll be so nice if it can also support living. heeheehee.

The fact of the matter is that we live in a society where money is somehow valued more than the items you can obtain with it. Money caters to the natural instinct of the human mind to hoard things and stash them, convincing itself that it will be useful at a later date. People argue about money because they are blinded by delusions of grandeur, and forget that money is just a piece of paper that is no more valuable than those found in a notebook. Money should not be held higher than it's worth; for example, you must determine the amount of work you would be willing to do for one dollar, versus the things you would do for a thousand. Then consider what you can buy with your money. Do not always try to save your money; saving it only helps to instill the "value" of it in your mind.

Hello rumshie! Welcome to Mylot! I think that we have been brought up that one of the things that's important aside from love and family is MONEY. We are have been brought up that we need money to get lots of things and to be able to finish school. I think that we have been given it too much importance that's why arguments come..
