The Game of Money
When life is loveless, then accumulating money becomes important. We live for a purpose and without a purpose life is meaningless. I remember many family members, friends and even strangers that I knew fighting because of money. Whenever you see people fighting in 80% of the cases the reason is money. And still we meet people who say they hate money or money is not important in life. But how true is it?!
For many people having money isn't about being able to buy a bunch of stuff or about social prestige. Having money means being able to avoid debt and problems. And thats why people work and spend the most of their time working hard and finding opportunities. They want to choose their favorite jobs without worrying about rent or food. They want to be in positions where they can help their family or friends, if they are struggling.
For me, my pursuit of having financial success is to provide a lifestyle for me and my family that is stress free. To be able to help many people and change their lives. To make charities and organizations to take care about street cats or dogs. To make a change on this planet and not just live randomly and die without even being remembered. Yes money is not everything, but it buys happiness. Whoever told you the opposite is absolutely wrong.
Since my childhood I fought only for one thing "Freedom". And to have my freedom I need to have money. I need to be able to make my own choices and live the life I always wanted. Money can buy time and give us freedom. It gives us opportunities and help us meet important people who can teach us their way of living. Finally! No matter what corner of the world you live in you need: Money for food, water and shelter.

This is also my way of thinking its not money I am really after its the time and freedom, being able to live life, after all we only get one why spent most of its time being a slave to some job who treats you wrongly, but anyway unfortunately for this one needs the money.
But I feel that recently the most organizations are encouraging people to open their own businesses and come out of that slavery system. It will work if we believe in our own abilities and look for new opportunities.
I'm not even sure who originally said that... covering basic needs is too important to be down-played... I suppose there's a point to where being wealthy can make one miserable if the outlook on wealth is one of selfishness :O
To the person that is too greedy to do anything for others and hoards wealth, money can be a cruel master... Luxury items and a huge bank account definately can be enslaving and not freeing... There are several stories about those giving up wealth to live in simplicity....
Sorry 4 talking 2 much.
Whoever gave up wealth to live in simplicity is a looser who didnt know how to manage his wealth. He could do a lot with it to change the life of thousands. And whoever says money is not important is another looser, who never looked for opportunities to become rich. He is just accepting his reality of being a looser :(
You are very genuine in your words Cleopatra :-)
That is what i am talking about, but i today's world, who say the bitter truth they would call a Machiavelli making many people to be shying away from saying the truth and placing emphasis on other attributes.
