What Money Can’t Do

  Money is something that has become a necessity to any and every one of us. Without money, we can do nothing. Whoever says they can live without money is someone who either does not know life, or is just plain dumb. Money makes the world go round. Want proof? Who runs the world? Is it people who love greatly or people with lots of cash? All major and successful companies are run by people with money. Of course that is kind of obvious, but some people still need to have the obvious shoved under their noses.

   But to what extent are people willing to go to just to gain a big profit? The answer? Any. People would steal, murder, do anything just to achieve these green pieces of paper used to buy and sell objects or services. Is that not a bit too much? To some, no. In their opinion, the world only revolves around themselves. Who cares about others as long as I’m fine?

   But there are still some things that money can’t buy. Not now, not ever. Example: Happiness.

Many think money=can buy anything they want=happiness.

That’s not really true. There are people who despite their wealth, still choose to take their own life. Enough said, I think.

   Family. Our own blood is something that will never be on sale for us. We only have one family. Treasure every single one of them while you still can. You never know how precious something is until it’s gone.

   True friends. I can proudly say that my classmates are all very well bonded together- and no money was involved. Friends come from the heart, not from our pockets. If you by any chance have friends who are there for your money then here’s my advice- ditch them. For good. It’s better to have no friends than fake friends. As lonely as you might be, at least you know that there won’t be anyone who will stab you in the back. Except maybe family members. (Yes, family members can be your worst enemy. No, it’s not just in movies)

   Time is money. This is partially true. Every second that you waste, you could be earning more money. But for every cent that you pay, you cannot buy time. Yes, it’s a bit unfair like that, but life’s unfair. Fact not fiction.  So I ask you, would you rather waste money or time?

   Lastly, life. Something that is not in our control. We may be able to prolong our life by buying medicines and what not, but will we be able to live forever? Are we able to buy someone who has passed away? Definitely not. Imagine if you could buy someone back from the grave. The streets would be littered with deceased people who do not belong here anymore. As much as I hate saying this, it’s a good thing that life cannot be brought back to life.

   In conclusion, money CANNOT buy many things in life. These are the things that we must treasure most while we still have them. Don’t waste them while they are still there. Once it’s gone, there’s no getting them back. Money may be important in life, that’s undeniable. But there are still things worth more than money. Make the most of them while they last.
