money money money

A classmate (who I dislike, and then again, how many people do I actually like?) made a comment in class last week about money being the most important element driving consultants to produce good work.

Poor thing..

To think that I already dislike him - he smokes, doesn't attend class, is late when he attends class, has an annoying loud voice, has an ego as big Jupiter and treats women like they only have a place in the kitchen (he kind of told me off for challenging his view (which was incorrect!) during a class debate because he elected himself group leader and apparently I shouldn't have disagreed with what he said because we were in the same group HEH!)

Honestly.. I can't stand the sight of him and I think he knows.

What an arsehole.

Anyway..

I still don't understand why some people still think that money should be the greatest motivation for work and life.

I'm not denying that we all need money, you do, but do you need to be greedy and have loads of it?

It makes live boring (the simple things in life won't make you happy anymore), it makes a person greedy, it promotes selfish behaviour and it allows doubt to creep into your head. Before long you'll start thinking that the whole world is after your stupid pot of money!

I know a man who loves money, wants money but somehow never had the luck to have much money. I wouldn't say he's a miserable man but he's certainly not satisfied, and he always thinks he'll be happier when he has money.

On the other hand, I know a woman who puts priority on money and has the luck to own money but I personally think she's probably more miserable than the man who doesn't have money and I don't think she's happy either.

She is always worried that people are not sincere with her because they're just after her riches and she even tries to buy love with money. It gets so bad, she drives away family.

Either way, it seems like a lose lose situation. So why concentrate so hard on money? Why not concentrate on something else?
