It is a very ‘funny logic’. Is it really money people seek or the ultimate freedom from money by wanting more and more of it, hoping that one day they will get so much money to overcome all money challenges? Money may have become the singular greatest limitation to people’s ability to act the way they would want, buy the things they would want to buy, be in the place they would want to be at certain times, attain the height they would want to attain in life, realize all their goals, aspirations and all that. Forget it! People just want to live their DREAMS IN LIVE —meet their need for food, shelter, acquire what they want, function as they please, drive their innermost cravings and desire, but are only pushed to run after money because physical money represents the only barrier to attaining their deepest wishes in life.
And I too, I have been a victim of this, until the grace of God, coupled with gradual emotional and spiritual maturity helped me become able to leave above this limitation—to see beyond this skein of money. In certain periods or circumstances when I suffer acute shortages of money, I immediately noticed and identified three circus of emotional reaction; a deep and inexplicable sense of anxiety that threatens and damages inner awareness of self-worth and security. It induces a frantic attempt at trying to satisfy this deficiency at all cost; Two, a kind of fear-wrought feelings of inadequacy and personal incompetence to meet incoming needs, both real and perceived in the eyes of the society around me; and three, a cessation of all reasoning capacity, bordering on proper evaluation of the situation, social and individual virtue and responsibility towards the future, all replaced by a quest for immediate gratification by pursuing money by all means. This attitude is what has become the standard response of so many in society today, rather than the other way round.
We often think that making money will free a person from all basic needs of life, making more money will grant a person the liberty to satisfy all his whims and vanities of life. Making all the money will serve as a definite measure of our status in society. Making all the money gives a person all the powers to subject others to his caprices and authority. Pursuing and making money is just an unconscious race imbued into the innate human nature. These can be all the wrong reasons for wanting money based on self pride, ego and social pressures when confronted with basic needs we do not understand how to meet.
Can we say we live solely to accumulate money and material things of life? Is it the ego that we satisfy from making more money than our peers? Is it the prestige we garner from society when we are able to acquire property and status indicating assets?
I always know that many people seek fulfillment in life, along the line we forget even the destination of our efforts and wallow in the activities that should take us to the destination we seek—this is what has happened to society and most people in it. We forget purpose and meanings of why we do what we do, and just get caught up in the euphoria or the madness of what everybody are doing and fighting to get.
