Money is nolonger a gift or useful human possession, but now it becomes a meter that must measure human activity, that is to say all human activity is controlled and determined by money and sometimes it makes us become prisoner to this thing called money.

Maybe it is true.We can see many examples as this all over the world.Some countries have much money,they become very strong.Some countries have little money,they become very weak,the people there can not survive themselves. The fact is the rich country rule the poor country.

As the saying goes money makes the world go round. It has become a reality that people are judged based on their assets and possessions and no longer is a mans worth based on wisdom and ethics. Its sad but I guess thats the way we have made our reality.

You are perfectly correct. When will we say money can just be life support and not that it determines our destiny

I know a lot of people would still not agree. But let's face it money is everything. Who are those in position of power, the ones with money right? Or even if you're not a politician or a president of a country you can control people when you have money. What is knowledge when you don't have the money to support your education? What is love when you and your family can't even eat three meals in a day. Lack of money results in hate. Money also stops us from doing what we want because we tend to do what is practical and not really what we love doing.

You are defintely correct, that is why you ruled by money,determined by money. Just imagine what type of food you put on the plate or the place you want to go for lunch or dinner and in what particular cafe is all determined by money. I know we cannt live without money now and that is the fact.

Sad to say, but it's becoming true. Money is becoming harder to resist. (... to the very least of the religious maybe)

Yes it is true that money is now the ruler of the world . Every mind is running after money making ideas. If you have money then you want more money and if you dont have it you will always cry for it. Bill gates got so much money but still he wants keep his business going and its becoming human nature.

Yes, just imagine where a life is without money or need for money. Think of the Amrecian Indian's saying when every fish are gone, every tree is gone and water is polluted, you cannot eat money.
