Money Changing our Essence

Money Changing our Essence

Something that I can not tolerate is how we let ourselves get influenced by superficial things. Everyday the world is becoming more materialistic and cold. We are starting to forget about the important things in life, and we let money and ambition guide our actions. As we grow up we have more responsibilities and goals to accomplish. Also our worries and stress increases too. We have bills to pay,taxes, work, health insurance, school,etc. Our seek for money becomes our priority number one. And I'm not saying this is wrong, because we need it in order to have a decent life but we are letting this take control of our life and we do not realize the effects it has in us and our behavior.

As we start to earn more money and build what we call "our happiness", we start to lose that sence of compassion and sensibility that once was important for us. I have seen so many people that in their pursuit of money and wealth they lost sensibility about the poor people, feeling better about having the last smart phone or the expensiest bag, expending their money in luxuries to show off. The problem here is that despite having so much they do not give anything to the ones who doesn't, share is hard to find in their dictionary, and humility is no longer there. They also have created this entitlement, believing they deserve more than others and putting their interests ahead of the needs of others.

The saddest part is that we are forgetting the important things, those that truly fulfill our life. A true friendship, a healthy family, a hug with affection, and the value of all the things we accomplish with hard work. We are so worried making money and letting it change our life that we are forgetting to enjoy the journey of it. Yes we do need money but keep in mind that money can't buy happiness or love. As this phrase says "The happiest people don't have the best of everything, They just make the best of everything".
