Have we ever thought about those who are homeless?
Those who were poor need food, unfed, without shelter.
Never smile, always frowns.
And no one would want to help them with what they want.
Why no one?
Because the world is so dense up, with people who see money as a key factor to surviving and bringing them happiness. Personally, money can be a life saver at the same time it can also make individuals and human beings not realizing that they have been manipulated with the wealth, until losing their moral values and kind-heart.
Every one of us is nice, every one of us is kind enough to do good deeds and help the needy. That was why I have this thought of discussing about it in my blog (since my blog is so dead. -.-" )
The main question here is, "Is money important to life?”
I can see that the word "life" highlighted the question point.
Let’s define what Life is.
Encarta will help. :)
1. Existence in the physical world: the quality that makes living animals and plants different from dead organisms and inorganic matter.
2. Living individual: a living being, especially a person, often used when referring to the number of people killed in an accident or a war (usually used in the plural)
3. Living things considered together: a group of living things, usually of a particular kind
4. Whole time somebody is alive: the entire period during which somebody is, has been, or will yet be alive
5. Time when something functions: the period during which something continues to function
6. Human activity: human existence or activity in general real life
7. Characteristic way of living: a way of living that is characteristic of a particular place or group country life

Look again; never a word "money" appears on these relevant definitions I chose.
"Existence in the physical world"
This is how I see "existence in physical world"
We were born through scientific biological reasons that our parents mate to produced a BABY called "US".
Let’s divide these two things first.
MONEY and FOOD
I see food as the main key point of survival and not money.
Meaning, if we were to go to the forest and pluck some edible leaves we still could survive living your LIFE. (Life means to exist in the physical world, adding on "the period during which something continues to function"
We still can live life without money, My point if view lah.
I use to think that money is so important that we can't live without it.
After some few months I realized, it does not.
I and my sayang live hard during these few months, we both have financial problems and that's where I realised. It is kind of contradicting, for once you love money so much and the next hour you said money create problems for you.
YES I would agree that money leads us to happiness, but at the same time, it created sorrows in some human beings that we never see them before. They are in fact struggling down there. They have been screaming for food since last thousand years but surprisingly, ONLY SOME OF US HEAR THEM? Where are the others? I would include myself in those who didn't hear them, because I did not help them somehow because I myself can’t afford too. I could only think about how they survive and learn from them.
1. They eat pieces of rotten bread they found on the floor, we ate gardenia bread leh..
2. They drink droplet of water from trees leaves, we drank COKE!!
3. They use leaves and plants to shelter and keep themselves from cold, we used this thing called blanket.
4. They found some cloth, tear it into pieces just to share among them to cover themselves up, we are wearing SUIT, DRESS, T-SHIRT, JEANS. How nice.
Have a peek...
Children recycling things that those people do not need.
The poor trying to voice out to the world for help.
I am not asking all readers to go do something about it, that’s just too much to ask for isn't it? In the nutshell I am trying to say that we should APPRECIATE whatever we have in life. Those who disagree, try imagining you being in a flaming desert for just 2 hours. That’s just ONE OUT OF TEN THOUSAND fraction of how the poor lives back there.
Money is just a medium to use as trade, be it food or anything else. Not to destroy lives.
I am just trying to voice out my views on the existing world now, so do voice out if you have any comments or disagreements. I would like to explore more too. : )
Sooo.
THINK. :)
