Money!

I got to thinking about money, and it's funny how people worship it...
Whatever happened to the morals and values we once held?
Everything seems less important when you have money on your mind.
Should this be our way of life?

I often wonder if money is really the most important thing in human life...
After all, you cannot live without it... but you can certainly live with too much of it!
So, if money has become our God... where does that leave love?
Is there a place for love and money to exist in harmony?

Are we compromising our morals and values by putting money first before all else?
Is it not true that we all grow up to learn that we need an income to survive...
So, while in the past, hunting and farming were ways of life, and some people still live that way,
those of us in the so called civilised world preoccupy ourselves with nothing but consumption!

What do you want to buy next? I bet you've already planned it in your mind...
How much to spend, how much to save, how long do you need to save up for that whats-it?
So, consumption actually distracts us from our true purpose... and what might that be you ask?
Well, I really want to know, if we had a billion dollars in the bank, what would we do next?

Save up more? Keep it as security? Make more money? What do billionaires think?
It's never enough is it? We just want more all the time... that's the human challenge...
To understand when enough is enough... Will we ever learn?
I wonder...
