Author: We spend our life, working hard, for more and more. Our greed to acquire never ends. Our schools, colleges and Universities are busy in developing new and advanced theories on the ‘Art of Acquiring'. Our parents, right from day one, look forward to our growth in terms of acquiring knowledge and wealth. The results are obvious. We earn what we aspire for. We aspire for wealth right from our childhood. This is true, generations after generations, and the result is that the wealth of the world has multiplied in geometrical progression, over a period of time. We have been so busy in our quest for wealth that we hardly have time to think or practice anything else. In the process we have lost our peace of mind and happiness. We are trapped in the mad race of generating wealth. Our life has become mechanical. Being tired of mechanical, monotonous and artificial life, we run after superficial happiness, to hotels, restaurants, night-clubs and what not. We lead a life, where we are of nobody and nobody is ours. Everyone ends at money. The result is unhappiness. The deeper we get into the mud of shortcut to happiness, more and more unhappy we are.
Money is a necessity of life. Earning money, by good means, is necessary and one must work hard for the same. What is bad and dangerous for life is getting obsessed with money – which has become the order of the day.
