Money Measures

Money measures and one can be measured by it.
This is a very usual and popular form for measurement.
Of course we buy goods which are measured by units of money.
What we have also started doing is measuring people with the amount of money that they have.
If one asks others how do you judge others, most would never accept the fact that it is the amount of bank balance a person has which is used to gauge a person. What a person has is generally what he is able to buy. We judge the possessions of people by knowing the market value of people.
Lets see how.
I remember once my mummy wore a nice pair of ruby earrings, which looked pretty expensive.
I congratulated her on her new possession without even once doubting the fact that it could be artificial and worth a few hundred only, untill she confessed it to me.
On the other hand if my maid or someone who is poor would have worn that pair of earring I would have never thought that it could be real even if it looked real in all sense of the word.
Strange but true!!
We try to also measure the possessions by the standards of people and thier capabilities to possess it.
Some people like to show off even if they dont have the capability to own certain things they borrow it, buy things which look close to real and try to imitate and copy the lifestyles of the rich and making an overall richer appearance than he really is.
There is so much need to be recognised and it is mostly with the help of show off of money wherein it is possible.
I have seen very very few people who live far below his real standards, most live far above thier standards. A growing evil, more so in these times.
In olden days people hid thier money and showed only the tip of the iceberg, (just like they hid thier wives) but now i see more and more people flaunting money more than necessary.
The impact this has on the have nots is not at all bothered on. There are huge buildings erected by the sides of slums and they live side by side, not even once contemplating that the cycles could turn down soon for either of them ...

Money Power

What does money signify?
It signifies power

Why was money created?
It was created so that power could be measured.

Who has money?
The powerful have money.

What do they do with money?
They manipulate the world (sometimes even God).

Why do they do that?
Money is the only thing on which the laws of dimishing marginal utility doesnt apply, and hence the hunger for money never diminishes, and its like the taste of blood an animal has which makes it hunt for more and more and more ...
When a man is rich he can do anything he wants and is in full control of a lot of things. He can combat difficulties and crisis without any bottlenecks. Once he knows that he is invinscible, he becomes egoistic and tries to manipulate.

Can he be stopped?
The only way he stops is when money moves away from him and the basic nature of money is to keep moving, hence completing the balancing act of nature.

Money Matters!

If you ask somebody to do something, he would do it on condition that he is rewarded for his services. What better reward than money? Actually there is no better reward than money.
( Bringing a smile on someone else's lips can be a reward too but what the hell !! who cares for that smile! )
For money one can kill (just like a lover kills for his love).
Relations take a back seat where money is concerned.
If a mother has 2 sons then the one earning more, becomes the favourite in the family because he is the bread winner. It doesnt matter how he is earning as long as he brings in the moolah!!
What matters is Money !

Short story

There is a little story I must share, my papa told when I was a little girl.
There was a man who was very rich and whereever he went he was saluted regardless of the fact that he knew the person or not or if he was younger or older to others. People respected him and saluted him. The rich man never returned or acknowledged their salute, he just ignored them all. In the evening he went home and opened his safe and recalled people who saluted him and told the money kept there that all those people had offered respect to it, and closed the safe.
Its all about money...... honey.

Money Honey

Its all about money ... Honey



Bet everyone has heard about this. Now most people say "Money is the root cause of all evil"
both statements quite contradictory in meaning. Everyone loves money but everyone would be ashamed to say so openly because money is considered evil.
To go deeper we must first understand the fundamentals of money.
Money wasnt there when the human race started, it came into being much later. I think it is one of the most sought after inventions by mankind
True, God made Man but Man made Money.
(here i would like to add that women are like money, apart from sharing the same number of letters they share some same propertes too, evil being one of them, also rhyming with honey which is usually addressed to women)
Now what i find interesting here is that i want to know is who made the most superior thing ?
Is Man more superior or Money more superior?
Man minus money is equal to a big zero.
Money minus Man is still money
We can also compare money to marriage and the adage "shaadi ka laddo jo khaye woh pachtaye aur jo a khaye woh bhi pachtaye"
If one doesnt have money one loses sleep for it and when one has money one loses sleep over it.
