I m 21 years of age having no financial crisis.. I used to beleive that being rich i can do any thin and every thing i want and can buy every thing.. But i was wrong.. This is the incident which i came across and which opened my eyes.. " There was a kid of a high profile person who had no problems with money i.e. he had a lot of money . He used to spend money like anything . He beleived the same as i do but one day he came to know that his son has been kidnapped and the kidnappers asked him to give Ransom amount of 1Crore RS. He dint had money crisis so he agreed to give anything for his son .. He aranged for the money and set for delivering it to the kidnappers ..Those kidnappers took the money but they were so mean that they killed the child insted of releasin him".. This incident has taught me a lesson that money is not everything.. And it cannot buy lives.. what do u think frends

You are so right. Money cannot buy everything. Happiness cannot be created through money, it can buy you toys and things to enjoy....but without someone to enjoy them with, someone to share them with and companionship....a person would not be happy.

that show's again that money isn't everything, it can't give you real love or real friends. Sure you can do a lot with money but such things can't be gotten with money. But that doesn't mean beeing poor is better...

Very true. Money is nothing to having a family, friends and health. I use to think the same thing until almost lost everything because of our health now. What more important is put what I have first of the money. An being thankful what we already have.

Money can not buy you evcerything and friends and family are worth more, is a nioce philosophy but ask the poor who do not have clothes to cover them and who do not have meal to put in front of their kids. Philosophies are meant for those who have their stomachs full and roof over their heads and clothes to cobver them and their kids. Love is the fourth thing you need to survive. Thats the reason all people are trying to earnm a little bit hee and there. I don't think any poor person who is starving will be happy to give you hug in exchange of your love but may be he will be eternally grateful to you and kiss you if you give him some food. your incident does reflect a truth but it reflects only a part of truth. You have to go a long way to enrich yourself with experiences. Money is important but do not make it so important that it overshadows your life. thats the main thing. one must be financially sound but should never forget family and friends.
