Money is Something..but not everything

I often get surprised at people who fly for money making. Of course 95% of human are behind the printed paper. As one of my friend said those are the visiting cards of our identity. Strange truth. But at one point which I cannot agree is a person who is good at money making or wealth creation is only a successful person. Money is not a measuring gauge for a person's success. Often this world gets mixed up with wealth creation and success. The educational institutions teach that. The aim of educational process becomes money making. That's why we have in our world something called career oriented courses or professional courses.

My simple logical question is how many are truly successful in all their professional, personal and social attributes. Hands up please. Sometimes I have to pity all because there will be only few.

Bollywood Glam Queen(once) Manisha Koirala would be the current best example to explain this.(many more are there) Recent news about her family break up, addiction to alcohol, drugs etc., losing her physique etc., tells us Wealth alone is not a person's success, Not also a person's Glam and Fame. They can be key factors but not everything.





I know my co-workers who earned tens of thousands of bucks in their profession but still had personal problems. I know a tenant who lived downside my house who was a chartered accountant, who earned in sic figures in a month, had his son in asylum because that boys mental growth is not even for age 5 when he is reaching 17.

I never mixed up myself with money. I wanted money to solve my needs, solve my family needs. But when I realized materialistic wealth is not the one which defines success I am not compulsorily behind it.

Someone said Money, Fame and Glam are extra ordinary slaves but very dangerous masters. When I personally got affected when everyone left me knowing that I don't have money, I wondered whether I have to be sorry for their ignorance or bad for the society we live in. Anything we can buy for money. But still there are something which we cannot buy with money. Peace, True People, True Care, Love of Eternal Father and more. Doesn't Jesus Christ said "Go give away all your riches and follow me. You will be placed in heavens" to a rich man.

This world often give value to those who are rich. It praises those who have fame, glam and wealth. But there is no chance for them to understand these are impermanent. A Vanity!!

And with false guts it calls me a Failure!!!
