MONEY: IS IT WORTH IT?


I guess most of us like money. I suppose we couldn't live without it. Most of us want more and a lot of us don't have enough and the supply and demand for it goes on and on.


Money can do lots of things. Most people feel if they had lots of it, they would be happy. Money can't buy happiness. I've been both happy and unhappy and it never had a price tag. Money cannot buy health. Many rich people have died horrible deaths because they could not buy their way into recovery, treatment, or else they lived with suicide ideation because of their money. Money cannot buy love ... someone may love you because you have money, but true love would last through famine and depressions and many other hard times. Money does buy food, medicine, and the other essentials we need to survive. But I am convinced that a simple life would be just a pleasurable as one with lots of money.


Myself, I don't have much. I have very little to show for my sixty-plus years on the planet. But I have the love and respect of friends and family. I have pretty decent health for my age, and I've travelled and seen a lot in my life. My legacy is my children.


Who says "the one who ends up with the most toys wins"????
