Speaking of money is really interesting. I found out that there were diverse topics which spoke about money. We cannot deny that our life can not be separated from money. We know money is only paper made. Yeah, it can buy us home, car and other stuff. Until there is a proverb saying that time is money as one example from among. The fact that money could not buy us happiness. No matter how much we have, money will never make us feel pretty happy. Bible says that money is the source of all evil or problem. So then, my question was why we are human being so in love with money?

I don't fall in love with money. It's just that, it is important to have money to buy the things that we need in order to survive. Money is the source of all evil if you make it as your God. I agree with you, money can't buy true happiness. Happy mylotting!

why we are so love in money, it is because of the natural character of human, greedy.that is my opinion,
Almost all of human have this character, but not all of people so love about money.
some people could control their greedy and make them not too thinking about the money, they let everything flow like a wind.
May people do many ways to get much much money and they never end this, that is because of this character.but just like what i have said, the level of greedy everypeople is different, depends on the way of thinking of each person.

Yeah, what a great answer? I like your answer. A few people are greedy. They never stop getting or wanting to have money. Like you said, the level of greedy in every person is different. I will have to think that I have had enough when I have money. Thank You.

I hate to know that there are people who are inlove with money much worst worship money! I need money, who else doesn't?
But this is reality,Money is important for survival to feed our earthly needs,wants and desires. People even find bad ways just to get bundles of cash for their gratification. Factors made them like this were ambition, greed of power.
If we just only realize that money were just nothing but a piece of paper to maintain our ways of living in this world. That money will support our earthly needs and wants not for a lifetime, that this can only bring substantial but not heavenly gratification. Then we can therefore manage this paper fairly and modestly.

Speaking of factors, I hate people who were too much in everything like too ambitious, too greedy and too stingy as well.
I know the importance of money to have is so we can pay our bill and buy food. This perspective won't craze me.

hi there my friend,
I think were both good in this side. We both know how to look at money as just basically a thing and nothing more.
cheers.

Money can buy us things. There are many things in the world that we want to buy and use. No one can tel when we will get bored using that thing but it's for sure that we want to buy it. It gives us satisfaction, some entertainment, some pleasure. To try out these thing we need money and thats why i think we are so in love with money.

Money is a very important part of our lives, unfortunately. Without money, we cannot do many things we would love to, for instance travelling, buying things we need and like and so on. But I think that we sould not center our world around money and we should concentrate on small things that make us happy. We can be happy without a huge amount of money, but money do facilitate our happiness...

It does represent a little bit of security, especially these days. Anyone can lose their job at any time and who knows when you will find another one? I'm sure there are many people who are in love with money because they can buy anything they want. Me, I would love to get my hands on several thousand dollars, (not a loan) for that reason. Not to buy things, but to pay bills.

I agree with you. If I don't have any money, I feel insecure sometimes and I don't have any idea if we run out of money. Running out of money block our way, it stopped us from doing something. Money is like a source of power for everyone and with money we can do whatever we want to do in our life. That's really true. Happy MyLoting. Thanks

a pleasant day sijabatnaburjut,
with reference to your main topic discussion, perhaps, it is not the love for money. hence it is more on the needs for money. as we cannot have those material things in life if we do not have the money. we cannot possess things that we want if we do not have money in our pocket. even the food, as we cannot eat those food that we aspire to eat if money is not on our grip. and these are just among the reasons why they are telling that people do love money. thus, money gives the favor in return to the people who have it. but not the real meaning of love that we really want.

Hello sijabatnaburjut,
I am not in love with money but i know the importance of money in life as nothing we can do without money.
That's right money is the primary thing as we need money to buy food,shelter and clothes which are basics to survive in this world but yes other things like friends,love and relationships are equally important.

I am also thinking about that. Why are people so in love of money? Because it is a practical need. Also, I see a lot of advantage when one has a lot of money. My real question is, why are others have more money and others have less?
Why is money so easy to have for other people and why others cannot have a decent amount of money in a day?

well, your question is rather difficult to get answered. Sure, people have capacity to earn money. It is due to our ability in applying our knowledge. To some experienced people, it is not difficult to earn a decent money and to some inexperienced one, they have hard time earning a lot of money. But that wasn't always like it, it depends on our efforts and luck as well. Talking about luck, It is out of our capacity, I don't know how to describe, but I was sure that God has solely involvement with that.

I think you're mistaken. We are not in love with money. We just need it in order for us to survive. Nothing is given free now and every one asked you for money so that you can eat, have your own shelter, or go to your work.

I'm in love with money because everything you want and need in life requires money to pay for it! Practically every single thing in this world is paid for with money, so I don't understand who would hate money! If you hate money, then you're probably poor and who wants to be poor if everyone is given the oppurtuniy to make money?
I love money so much, I'm even trying my best to make minisule online earnings! Hopefully, one day these earnis can asset me in life, and with money, I can provide the lifestyle my family wants to live, and the lifestyle I've dreamt to live for!

Everybody has different perspective of money. Others say money is needed in our life to pay this and that and some people say that money is power. It'll be easier to get you power if there were the money which would be a tool to get it. We have the right to answer how we want the money came into our own thought and mind. That's absolutely up to us.

No, not all human beings love money. Its those greedy fools who are! And, money isn't the source of all evil. I believe, the LOVE OF MONEY is the root of all evil. The reason money is invented, so we won't trade things unfairly like back in the day; trading a cow for a lump of gold. Hmm, more better if it's price tagged.
And I think there are somethings money teaches us. It teaches us to work, work hard, and earn. To get what we deserve.
The bottom line is, we all need money in order to survive. That's the main purpose.
