DISCUSSION 1 - Money _Page 2

THE RESPONSES (contd)

Kayode Ogunnaike:
money in itself is not worth as much as wealth. wealth you see is much more encompassing than just money. you can be wealthy in knowledge(in a specific field or otherwise),or fulfillment from something youve done well.

yeah! money can buy you pretty much anything. but to take the view that you can somehow absolve yourself of the sins youve commited to get it...(im quoting here), would be lying to oneself. DEEP in your heart you know that the happiness will not be complete. your mind will just not rest easy.

i suggest to you that we concentrate on what makes us happy cos thats true wealth. good things will tend to spring forth when we are on the path of what makes us happy. on that path you run into like minds and situations. youll discover new things that will have value to you. when youve travelled that path until youve worn it out enough to where youre cruising,you have wealth. i gurantee you that you will be paid and content.

thats not to say you cant get wealth other ways, this way at least youre being true to yourself .your happiness does not have any value to anyone else(harsh but true). so seeking it will not rob any one else .(in a karmic context)

however if you want to go the other route. burn people close to you for no other reason than money! youve sold a piece of yourself EVERYTIME. its akin to selling your soul to the devil.
the fact that you would want to absolve yourself after "gettin money" only exposes that deep down you know the money you have, is tainted cos of the way it was acquired.

why reduce the value of money you havent even made yet, by making poor ethical choices?

money might rule the world ,might change ones world, but if it changes the individual, its sordid then.

so do what males you happy and all else will follow. strive for it in constructive ways and you will see fruit that even you did not envision. PURSUE YOUR HAPPINESS!

Monica P:
Hi-I don't have any great and wonderful insights that you would want to post on your site. Just know that I agree with you. It is so damned frustrating that money does rule the world - although it is those that have the least amount of it that actually do the hard labor to make the world go round.
