The value of "MONEY"

In my 25 years of living I experienced a lot, the need to work at an early age just to earn MONEY, my parents needs to leave us to work and earn MONEY, people committing crime for because they need MONEY, people work 3 jobs to earn more MONEY, husbands and wives fought and get separated because of money. Is this how life really is?? I know these times we need money for our needs, and sometimes wants, but I can see also some people happy with their life even they had a few. Just enough to sent their kids to school, pays their bills, eats 3 times a day. Is it really that valuable??

It seems to me that the more people focus on money, the unhappier they are. We have to have it to get by in this world, but when we make it the most important thing in our lives, there's little left in our lives to enjoy.

You are right, the most people longing for it ended up rich but still don't know how to define happiness. Even if they have money to buy everything the simplest thing to be happy is still priceless.

Working has become a competition. The more money you have, the more secure you feel. But money changes people. When you are forced to compete with others to earn money you can't develop your full potential skills. You can easily watch Zeitgeist Adendum. The movie is a real propaganda, but they got some really true points about money making and monetary system. It is free movie, you can watch it on the net.
