Money

Modern people like us cannot survive or live without money. Human beings have already considered money as an important part of their lives for centuries. Most people think that money is their everything, without money they cannot survive. Money can buy everything we want, what do you think about that? For me, money of course...can get almost everything humans want but the only exceptions are health and happiness.

Humans today can do everything just because because of 'money'. Money is a very common word which has been spoken by everyone of us. It seems like our community today like to apply the notion "no money, no talk!" shopping, clinics or hospital, restaurant or foods even donations all need money. We work hard and study because of money and living.

Money itself sometimes really do create or bring us lots of problems. Because of money, we dare and are forced to hurt our love ones, our family, friends even our earth. Money does lead us to do crime; do you agree? Crimes because of money are widely committed all around the world. The most common examples are kidnapping and drug's trade. Believe it or not, you are able to hire a killer to murder the one you hate! When human come to his or her dead ended road, she/he get no way to go just he/she might think of the fastest and easiest way to gain/earn money because of personal reasons like family's burden, unemployment,foods, educations and others. DO you realize all of these reasons are because of living and self-benefits? Gaining money from criminal/illegal activities are usually betrayed our consciences and make us lost our humanity. Another example which compiled with money and our only home, earth is deforestation. Deforestation means cutting down those big trunks or trees in the forest for selling or trading purposes. THose businessmen and authorities never think of how much would their future generation suffer if our earth has run out of trees! Deforestation has destroyed the habitat of animals and the growing ground for flora and fauna. Extinction of living organisms become active and has increased in this past decades due to the industrial revolution. This has also led to the suddenly increase of greenhouse gases,unstable climates, outbreak of unknown pandemics and others.

Human dare to do everything because of money even we have already know what side complications money will bring us in the future. Politicians and economists usually play a role in business of the earth natural resources. We can use the current issue on the dramatical hike of world fuel's price as an example. As we all know that back to the past years a gallon of fuel only cost around USD 35 but now it has hiked to USD 141 (early July) per gallon which is around 400% from the past price. What is the reason or factor leading to this? We are now demand for more fuels in our daily life. Usage of fuels play an important role in our life due to those dramatically increase of world fuel's price...Normal people like us suffer alots! We need more money to buy fuel for lubricant the thirst of our modern technology fantasy's living. All of these associated with money! Drilling non-renewable resources make our earth at risk of global warming, drilling those resources for money purposes speed up the sinking of our sea-bed down to our earth plate. Why we still practice or doing these? The only reason is just because of MONEY!

As a conclusion, money bring allot of problem to us. Only human is busying and then work/live for money; that is also a reason why human nowadays do something which betrayed their own consciences, religions as well as their humanity. I think this world will be much prettier and harmony if human could let themselves not to be too money faces and understand that happiness and family are everything; so conflictions, crimes and arguments of money's business will become less.
