Money Tree

Money is a big issue in this world. This realisation had dawned on me around the time when I was 11 years old, when the influence of brands and boys came into being. Large stocks of dresses, shirts and skirts were bought every year from the exclusive stores of Zara, Abercrombie and Hollister in London, Hong Kong and the States. By the time we reached thirteen, Armani belts, shirts and even dresses were being flaunted by various nepotistic kids of our grade. But the real question that should be asked is whether they really know the value of the apparel they don so frivolously, and everyday at that. Growing up in a world where everything comes to us at the click of fingers, money has never really been an issue that crosses our minds often. The highest order of problems that we can have are around the concepts of popularity, acceptability, friends, and studies. It is only the children who actually go through some level of a comparatively tough life that actually understand what happens when the only thing that could go wrong in your life is not that you don't feel like every single person loves you every minute of every day. It's often that people say that money is not the most important thing in the world. That, strictly speaking, is not entirely true. Yes, maybe there are other things that one might come up with to overshadow money, but then you can look at it in this way: If money's eternal nemesis is supposedly happiness, then just like two people who have a love and hate relationship; they are the same. These two are fine without each other; they can survive, however they are at their best when they are around the other. Both can function, but they depend on each other's presence for the best outcome.
Money is often said to be man's greatest yet deadliest creation. Holding true to it's word, it can either make a man noteworthy or narcissistic. It's often that people say that a man's greatness should not be measured by his wealth but by his merit. Hearing it, it all sounds very deep, but in reality, it's just another idealistic statement. For in our world, a man's worth is more often than not, actually measured by his wealth. Non-controversially speaking again, the pronounced statement above has been generalized. In the end of the day, money is really a notable part of your life and is definitely creditable for playing a major role in moulding and shaping it into what it is today.
