A very debatable subject, love or money? Which is more important? I believe that love is more important, no matter what today’s society has become. My view is based on the fact that simplicity and being humble is what you need to survive, if you have them, then the rest comes your way. Some of the most happiest people in the world are not necessarily wealthy. Why are some of the wealthiest people alcoholics and drug addicts? Why do they need substances to get their thrills out of life? Why did and does Jesus teach about love, rather than money?
Others might now feel the same, but I strongly believe that love is more important than money for a range of reasons. I believe, and as should you, that if you are humble and not greedy for money, that happiness, and everything that needs to be taken care off will sort itself out. You don’t need to have mountains of money to be happy. A greedy person will be happy with no amount of money, whereas a humble person will be happy with whatever he has and accept it. If you waste your time longing for money you will never be happy, but if you are content with what you have, and you live for what you got, you will always be happy.
Happiness isn’t hard to find if you look, its everywhere you look. If money was more important than love then why are some of the most famous celebrities alcoholics and drug addicts? Charlie Sheen? He needs drugs to save himself from a boring life where money can’t buy you anything more. Some celebrities also take drugs to the point where they die, Amy Winehouse? Whitney Houston? They had an ongoing problem which led to their passing. Their addiction was a way to excite their boring life, where there is nothing left that money can buy. It is very clear that money can’t buy happiness.
For all those who believe in God, Jesus, our savior taught whoever he spoke to, to be humble, and to not always want more and to be happy with what we have. He continuously made sure we knew that money did not cater for everything, and in our hearts and our minds there are more important things, love. He showed that with love you could achieve almost anything and by loving one another everyone can be happy. Money is not the essence to life, love is. Some would say that money is more important than love because without money you can’t survive.
Yes in todays society it is difficult to survive with no money at all, but I am not saying that you don’t need money, I am saying you don’t need to be bathing in it, people can be very happy with mediocre jobs that give minimal pay, because as long as they are doing what they love, or they are with somebody they love, all the ‘wants’ in life don’t matter as much anymore. Yes money may be important for survival in todays society, but the most important thing you need to not lose yourself in the greed of the people today is love.
If you accept things for what they are, and not waste your time, wanting what you may never have, you will never be happy. The people who do have all the money in the world usually end up depressed and alcoholics and drug addicts, they buy everything that would make them happy and when there’s nothing left to look forward to, they don’t know what to do with themselves. Even Jesus showed us that love and being humble is the way we need to be, its in plain sight for those who want to see it. Open your eyes to the world, and find the love you need in your life.
