On Money

As a Chinese saying goes, "With money one can raise a spirit; without it he cannot command a man." By this, it means that if we have money, we can make the devil go; if we have no money, it is no use calling because there is no one coming. As a result, many people are busy making money. But in fact, the love of money is the root of all evils.


Money is like a thief. It will steal your money. To make money, some people betray their friends and even their family. And others lose their dignity and conscience. Someone said, "Money never made a man happy." What ever do we view money as?


In my opinion, money is not everything. For one thing, money can't buy things that are not for sale, such as health, affection, and conscience. For another, some of the most valuable things that nature has to offer us, such as the sun, the rain, and the wind can't be bought with money. There is no denying that it is a wonderful thing to have money and the things that money can buy. But I am convinced that even if we have little money, we can be as happy in the cottage as in the mansion. In short, I think that money is not everything; instead, I think that we should check up once in a while to make sure that we do not lose what can't be bought with money when we are blind to seeking money.
