What makes man different from other species on Earth? It's of course our intelligence and imagination. Man had invented many different things to live in ease. One such invention is “MONEY”. Money is an important invention of man. Now a days, every action of a grown up individual has got some financial aspect in it. It has become the backbone of human civilisation.
Go back to the old barter system of finance. The exchange was not just every time, because there is no measure of value for a particular product. Then came money. Money evaluated everything. We have to pay that value in cash or equivalent to buy that item. The paper notes that we use now a days have simplified economics. No need to carry heavy coins in large numbers. The latest plastic money concept has revolutionised economics. No need to touch money. Money become virtual.
The concept of money is simply superb. It changed the world, due to it's purchasing ability. It can be used to buy anything ranging from paper clip to sophisticated, modern, luxury cars. It is not only material goods that money can buy, it can buy pleasure or comfort. Money used to buy music is an example. In a way, everything that money buys is used by us to derive some pleasure. We use it to alleviate our lives.
Money is multi-faceted. It has become the source of almost all crimes in the world. The quest for money, through the dark corners, will lead to hurting fellow humans, physically or mentally. Money plays very important role in our society today. Money is used to evaluate not only consumables, but also human beings. Money dominates thought. It is used to influence people to do all sorts of filthy things. Money mixed with religion or politics is like a deadly poison. It will take lives of those who consume it (and not of those who had made it!).
Money is a necessity now a days. But it's a good practice not to evaluate emotions and relations in monetary terms.
