Steemit Engagement Challenge / SEC-S19 / W3 | "Money or Peace?"
It is good to make money, but making money without having the peace of mind to enjoy the money is a problem as you will never be happy with yourself. It is either you are treating one sickness or you are running up and down to secure your life. Here I have discussed based on the contest tip as shared below.
Are we all sacrificing peace to make money?
 |
|---|
While growing up I thought money was everything and that those who have money don't have problems with life not knowing that I was wrong with my perception, because I have seen so many wealthy people who don't have peace of mind
Well, going by the question, I will say that we all aren't sacrificing peace to make money. Many people have determined to make money in the rain or sun, and such kinds of people have sworn to sacrifice the blood of others for money, and so on.
If you look into our society you will notice that there is a high crime rate such as kidnapping, robbery, rituals, and so on all in the name of making money which isn't a way of sacrificing peace to make money.
Which is wiser to spend and earn or to spend after earning and saving?
 |

To me, it is to spend after earning and saving that is wiser. A person whose source of income is usually every month will like to spend after earning his or her salary, whereas someone whose source of income is daily will always spend to earn more, but despite the two, it is spending after earning and saving that is wiser.
To spend after earning and saving has been the best for me which I don't only think but recommend it as the best option for you also when it comes to spending money
Apart from money, what brings you peace and happiness?
 |
|---|
Apart from money, it is treating others well that brings me peace and happiness which I believe in living authentically with others to have peace of mind. This decision of mind in putting smiles on the faces of those I find myself with usually gives me peace of mind and happiness than when I am chasing money.
I may have money, but once I notice I have an issue with someone around me or close to me, I may not have the peace and happiness to enjoy the money, because I would be living my life in fear.
However, besides putting smiles on other people's faces, food is another thing that brings peace and happiness to me. As long as there is delicious food like the one above for me to eat, I will be happier than when there is none.

Upvoted. Thank You for sending some of your rewards to @null. It will make Steem stronger.
As you said, money is not everything. But to be frank. there is a time when we all think money is prime and everything else comes afterward. But at this point in time, I understand the value of mental peace. and the proof of that is I have quit my job.
Mental peace is the most important thing that we need in our lives. Thanks for stopping by.
Human want is insatiable. The more we look for money, the less we focus on our mental health and what gives us happiness. Let always make the balance between money and peace as we can never be satisfied with money but peace is assured.
Exactly, we can never be satisfied with money. Thank you.
Hello dear @josepha!
I am greatly inspired from your positive thinking. Your insight on finding peace through treating others well is excellent. Yes it is true , happiness often comes from how we connect with people not just from financial success.
I appreciate your kind support than you.
We must try hard to make money ney but not be so desperate because in the face of desperation we could loose our peace if mind and join dangerous vices. In this I'm saying we must try to make money but not be obsessed with money, because money most likely does not being peace of mind. Thanks for such insightful post.
I think balancing both is what we should try and do. Thanks for your support.
Pleasures my dear friend.
Lovely

As we know, money is a human need, it is also a human weakness, but peace cannot be established with money. Money is very important in me, although hopeful people destroy their peace like earning money, but for a poor person, peace and tranquility is everything.
