We put so much importance in money (not because we are in Pinoymoneytalk) but because it has been made an intermediary of trade. Something that we regard with value because in the first place it has to have worth, otherwise how can we use it as medium for our exchanges? It is NOT the pursuit of money that made Celso delos Angeles or Madoff or our corrupt officials for that matter, evil men. But HOW they accrued the money, the MANNER by which they were able to procure such wealth that made them wicked human beings. Afterall I don’t think you can say the same thing for Oprah?
Personally, I don’t see anything wrong with wanting to have more or most (but with wanting to have less – e sakit ata yan, hehehe). But again, with how you are planning to amass such wealth that determines if it is greed or not. Though it is true that we need only air, water, food, and shelter to exist, they are not the ONLY things man needed to survive not to mention PREVAIL. And It is the pursuit of money or should I say what we can do with it (besides, can you still tell the difference) that makes man, ironically - CREATE, INVENT, and INNOVATE.
E sandali nga, e di kung di mayaman e ano ngayon? Hehehehe. It will not be the end of the world (but perhaps "my" world)
As for the question, who wouldn’t want, wish, pray and hope, (least think) they could be wealthy? The question is WHEN and HOW? (Next week, pag nanalo ako sa lotto)
Seriously though, it is easier said than done.
