I have watched this movie where the woman told the guy that she still loves him, BUT SHE LOVES MONEY MORE now and left the guy. In reality, there really are people who would do everything for the love of money. They even resort to criminal actions and risk their lives for it. Maybe they were thinking that money could give them true satisfaction and happiness.
What is your opinion about it? Thanks.

Well, there are people who really value money more than anything else, even at the expense of their true love. Sometimes we can't blame them when we learn about the many sufferings they endured. But others, well others are just plain greedy and selfish. In the end, they still cannot justify their actions. As what the bible says, no one can serve both God and money at the same time.
On a side note, may I know the title of the movie?

Thanks for your response. People should always have a balance view about it. Too much of anything can be dangerous. You are right that in the end, they will end up full of regrets for their actions. I heard that line in the movie Real Steel. Funny but I took that line seriously.

We need money to survive and sometimes...fit in the society that some of us want to be a part of. ... But to love money? Ugh! I don't think that is a healthy attitude over something that doesn't have the same feeling as beings do. Money doesn't have a heart!

I also like money a lot, but not to the point that I would allow it to control my life. You are right that being greedy is not healthy. Some people say that there in nothing in this world that money cannot buy and so those people end up being alone and lonely and would realized in the end that it can't buy love and happiness. Thanks for sharing!

money is necessary in our life. but for the sake of money we should not follow the criminal actions. because we only need money to have a better life. the money earned by rubbery, stealing or through criminal actions will not give a better life but it destroy the life.

That is right jula. We need money for protection but it does not justify that we should risk or waste our lives for it. Thanks for responsing.

I have money as an interest, so I can learn about affiliate websites, and places like mylot that exist online. However, every once in a while I come across one of these posts in this section. I do have to say one thing, and that is this. For a partner, one who is compassionate and listens to you when you need it. That in and of itself is the goldmine. I mean, a woman has to be careful. I've had way too many talks were women dated, lived, and married men who used them as maids as well as stayed home 'pretending' to be sick just to collect disability while the woman worked 3 jobs. That is a reality, sweet talkers are a reality who live off of hard working women. That being said, the pitfalls being noted. The man who actually gives a damn about you enough to make sure you are happy and loved, is the only one. There is no other man period. Real, honest and caring. Sadly, there are many men who know this is what we truly want, and many ladies fall prey to sweet talkers who live off of them. The opposite is true of course. This is why love is a very treasured commodity, it's truly worth it's weight in gold, platinum, whatever, if you can find it.

Thanks for sharing friend. I always know that love cannot be bought. Too bad that there are men who only use women to collect money when they should be loved and taken care of.

there are many people in real who are like this. And that is bad. We know that money can not buy everything but this is our thinking. There are people who get happiness and satisfaction with only money. And they get what kind of girl or boy want since everyone wants money and people are running to make the rich people their friends. The rich people like it when people come after them knowing they are after the money. I have family who are not in touch with me because they think I am not of there level, but my days are yet to come. have a wonderful day.

Thanks for your response. It is sad that even some of our relatives do not really consider us one because they think that we do not stand on the same ground. I don't know how can we call them family if they would treat us that way. Maybe that is why I have seen some family rivals some are killing each other just to prove that they are more powerful than the other. Yes, there are people who likes to hang around with rich people. I guess some people would pretend to be your friend for the name of money.
