Why pursuing money is not bad? By Holy Bilal

In this era in my belief the money is not evil. Some may think of me as a person materialistic mind. But it is fact that money is not the evil or to wish for money is no more wrong. Money gives the ultimate freedom to enjoy and explore through in life. Here I feel the need to quote Osho’s saying “All religions have condemned wealth while I condemned the poverty.”

As the matter of fact and in my opinion, wealth is not a means of personal satisfaction or enrichment. Rather, wealth is a way that can be utilized to fulfill everybody’s need and everybody’s duty to the betterment of society.

Although if you are getting money for the self purpose then it is a ridiculous, and if your only perspective to have money is the goodness, which you can create with that money then gathering money can be sacred.

Go after the money not for self soothing but to use that money as a tool in the betterment of society. And when you don’t have it then prove with your little money or no money that you can do greater with more money. It is famous saying “Money comes to those who attract it, avoiding all who seek to entrap it.”

The wealthier and rich a person is, the more luckily he positively changes the lives of those who are deprived or in need. Let me explain why money is important by giving you factual example. Suppose if you are poor but have good health and you brothers or neighbor’s house is burned into the ashes, you will remain a nice person but you wouldn’t have ability to help them with what they need at that time. That time they don’t need your good heart and sweet words. And if the same happened but this time you are rich, you can help your brother or neighbor by giving a home to stay and live. You are rich and wealthier, now you have enough wealth for you and for the people around you.

However it is not wrong if someone is poor, festivity of poverty is deeply rooted in egocentricity and meanness. A person who is poorer can may save a life, but a person who is wealthy can build hundreds of thousands people. Poor can do nothing to help those who need, but a wealthy person can help thousands of people. Wealth is an opportunity to do good in human society, is an opportunity to bring sufficient change in human society to sustain it.

Here you are thinking there have been number of people who brought change in human society who were mere rich. Yes indeed it is possible to bring change, to help those who need it without or with little money. As the fact money is just a paper and digits but these papers and digits can be traded for a person’s time and effort. Consequently if person is not wealthy, he can use positive actions, his time and his effort in the advancement of society and in the betterment of humanity.

One thing to be remembered the greater the person’s wealth is the greater his obligation to his surrounded humans. Those who are in greater power can do greatest good to the greater number of people living below them.
