why we need money ?? do not be naive, everyone in this world surely needs the money. but some of them surely has his own reasons for collecting it, whether it's for their own enjotment, or future plans. but sometimes people will not be satisfied with what they have now. So they will do anything to get whatever they want.

money is not the most important thing in the world. but it does affect everything that is important. we'll all die someday, but while we're still alive, we need to live on and make our lives meaningful. but when greed kicks in, well.. trouble will always follow..

like i said, we need to live on and make our lives meaningful. if you can make your life meaningful without money then its up to you. it just boils down to your intentions with your money.

While its true that money is the root of all evil, it is also lack of money that makes a person becomes evil or bad. What I mean is that when people are in dire need of money or shall we say out of money, he/she could think of doing something whether good or bad just to get away with such an undesirable situation. Crimes happened because of poverty and you are right even siblings kill each other because of money. Thus. money can be considered something that people need to have in order to go with their lives. Without it will make someone to fail in his quest. Our basic needs such as clothing, shelter and food can't be obtained without money. It's the reason why people work, they work for money which enable them to support their family with their basic needs.

ahdyz -- a good topic. discussed in many forums many times. Money is required to get many things in life. Money can buy many things but not a few things. It is normally said: Money can buy bed but it cannot bring sleep. Money can buy sweets but it cannot bring the good health to eat those sweets. People who kill others for money are mad people and they are in minority. May 20% of people may be like that. 80% people are good. They earn legally and are content with what they have.

Another dimension -- Money is one thing which even if one is given in huge quantity also that person may not say NO to it. On the other hand if food is served one cannot eat beyond some limit. Money is required but that alone is not sufficient -- we want people, friends, things and blessings of God also.

Now I want to ask you, why do you eat if someday you'll die and don't bring the food with you? Even you'll die n-a-k-e-d. Why ? Why ? Why ? Why ? Huh ..... ? Don't you remember that we were created to be a candidates in this earth and to take the advantages from the earth ? If each person has got enough money, there will be no crimes of course :P. Demons and angels were made to make it balance :) And money drive us crazy :D. That's the fact nowadays.

There's more to life than just money. i definitely don't think that money is the most important thing, in life. Money can help us in some ways. It helps us provide for our basic needs, and provide for our families.

I remember a silly and quote when I was in Senior High School, said that 'money is not everything but without money everything is nothing'..is it funny? LOL. but I do agree with this quote. we do need money to earn our living, to meet our daily needs. we need food, drink, clothes, entertainment, and all of them cost some money. but of course money is not everything. if we consider that money is everything, we will only live for money not in the reverse that we should consider money for staying alive or survive. moreover, if we just live for money, we will lose our friends and relatives cos we will be a very greedy person. we do all in the name of money. and it's terrible. once taught that 'get money as much as you can as if you will live forever but surrender yourself to God as if you will die tomorrow'. I think it's a balance principal to do in life..

There is money a) because that's the way the bankers want things set up and b)it's natural human behaviour because there aren't enough resources to go around. Of course there are in fact plenty of resources, there are lots of atoms and molecules in the universe, it is mostly that the way the system is set up now, humans have not been allowed to develop ways to use all that abundance to satisfy every persons needs, so in a sense the current money system is retarding human development and evolution. That will change when it collapses, soon............

Those ppl who kill their brother and sisters are already crazy for money. Money is what we need to keep ourselves alive in this world nowadays. Money is needed to buy food for our family and everything. That is why money is important and everyone is fighting for money. I do agree that when we die, we can't bring along the money that we have. And in fact, the money that we have will be other people's. So when you are alive and have the money, help others with it, so that at least when you die, u know that you have been able to do something with the money that you can't bring along. Because at the end of the day, money is not worth it anymore when you are about to die.

We need money when we are alive. That's the reason we are working so hard for it, while some are fighting so hard for it. Whatever we do, it's all for ourselves and it's a mean of survival. Nobody can predict what's going to happen tomorrow but we are all prepared for the future. Without money, we can barely survive in this world and knowing the hardship of without it, all the more we would fight hard for it. Once we get the hang of having cash, we tend to overspend and that's where greed comes in. When that happens, we become the slave of it.

Of course we cannot keep and bring our money with us next life, only ourself and our talents and knowledge and our relationships can go with us next life, all these material things we possess will remain here on earth... it's true that we need money while we are still living and we had to work hard to gain money so that we will survive here on earth, and help other people who are in need...
