I was surfing through the internet and I came across a picture that got me thinking.

Money is the answer to most of our problems, no matter how much money we have, we ask wake up in the morning to make more money.
As important as money should be made, it does not mean that our loved ones around us should be mistreated or neglected.

PART 1:
A father gets up as early as 4am, gets ready and leaves for work without kissing his wife or even seeing children before he leaves the house. The children don't get to see their dad except maybe on weekends that is if he is not concentrating in the library or looking for extra money. imagesource
They have all the luxuries and latest devices they could wish for but no latest daddy. The only place they get to see their father hanging around peacefully is in front of the TV listening to the news or sport. Oh!, if there was more of him.
Anniversary missed, graduation missed, birthday missed, he would have even missed the wedding (his son's).
Years has gone by, he is retired, his life is successful but empty (except of course those of newspaper and magazine features). He has his name engraved on numerous awards, no love or connection between him and his family, he doesn't even know the ages or birthdays of his wife and children. He has experienced vanity in full. imagesource

PART 2:
Mom keeps complaining...."why can't you be like your mates?", imagesource Rita's husband took her to Dubai, you need to see the videos and pictures she keeps flaunting on social media and here you are giving me N1000 to cook soup, I can't do this anymore. Her poor husband was running three menial jobs just to put food on the table, only for him to come back one day and his wife is gone... She left their three kids behind for him to cater for. He tried to call her several times but her number wasn't connecting until he vowed to take care of his kids with the little he earns.
A couple of weeks later, his wife was found dead along a busy road. It was said that she ended up with a ritualist. Oh! What money can do.

PART 3:
Many young people involve themselves, doing things that will lead them to their early grave.
Now you see most kids on drugs, they join gangs and cults.

Now every kid wants to make quick money by any means before it's their time... They want to drive big cars, impress the girls, drink the most expensive champagnes, imitate celebs etc. They make their own way and do things in their own to fasten their wealth, dragging innocent souls along with them and causing nuisance in the society.
Remember, you cannot out play nature and what ever you do today, the outcome is waiting patiently

Money is only a tool for realization of your dreams and living an easy life. Don't make it the ruler of your life, you can't have all the money, but make good use of the one you have and keep growing it, but always remember to have time for your loved ones.
Wealth obtained by fraud or rituals washes away with time but he that gathers from honest labor shall dwell in riches.
