Money money money….

Money moves the world. That’s what some people say anyway. I personally dont believe that though. I do believe that its very important to keep the balance we have, to keep our family and a healthy lifestyle we need money. Money however, its not necessary for happiness, because if it was, there wouldn’t be so many poor people that live soooo happy. I think unhappy rich people are more common than happy rich one, nevertheless I still want to be rich. Paradoxical behavior some might call it. I want to be rich not to reach happiness, but because with that, I’ll be able to give people around me a safe lifestyle, without worrying about money and the stuff that comes with it. And not just my relatives or friends, helping our brothers, our human brothers I feel is my duty.
When I see on TV famous people that spend millions to get a car, house, electronics or even watch; it sickens me. It sickens me because some even say that they deserve to have all the money they’ve had, that they deserve to spend it however they like, because they’ve “suffered” for it. They think because they donate a couple hundred bucks each year to a foundation or a NGO, that they are “giving back” to the community. I say thats bull****. People in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe, and even the US are suffering; yet they dont get anything. Why? Because it is our DUTY to help them.
To help those that can’t help themselves, to help those that need just that little extra push, to help just by being by their side, that’s what we lucky people deserve. And I say “we” because I’m lucky to have been give then chance to go to the university when 99% of my countrymen can’t. I’m lucky that I have a roof over my head, when 1/3 of my country doesn’t. And this sad numbers aren’t only in my country. Its all around us, in whatever country we visit, there is poverty beyond measure. Enormous amounts of wealth in the hands of a few people, leaders manipulating the masses to wage war on others, to make themselves richer….
Thats why I thank God everyday for all that He has given me. And if you belive in God, you should thank him too. You should thank him because you, unlike so many people on this planet, can read this, can read so many things…. Be grateful for what you have, and share it with your brothers….
