Money and Status

Money and Status go hand in hand. They say that money makes the mare go round and it is very true. If you have money you are highly respected in society but if you are poor then God bless you.
If you maintain a certain standard of living , people think you have plenty of money and always have a smile on their faces when they meet you. But the day they find out that you have less or no money, they show their true colours. The same people who put you on a pedestal drag you down and crush you under their feet. That's humanity. People measure and value your worth by looking at your possessions not realising that you may be a pauper.They judge you by your external appearance which misleads them into believing that you are worth a million dollars Nobody understands a person's good nature or good deeds. It's money, money and only money.
When a ship is sinking the rats are the first ones to desert a sinking ship.Whether it's your family, friends or neighbours nobody wants to be close to someone who is not wealthy. Money comes and money goes. Apart from Life and Death nothing is certain in this world but people are always running after money. How much does a human being need besides basic food, clothing and shelter? We work hard just for two square meals. Do we take our wealth with us when we die? Then why are we so selfish and do not help people in need? They say Charity begins at home .It is our moral duty to help the needy people in the family first. At times a brother or sister does not help another sibling who is in need of money and still be normal and sleep in peace without feeling guilty about the situation.
At times a person goes through bad times and is helpless about the situation. The same person must have helped out several people during his good days. Why are some people so kind and others stone-hearted? It is very difficult to understand human nature. Most of the people in this world are money-minded and their world revolves around money and material things. If there was an equal distribution of money, wealth, character and all other things then the world would be a better place to live in. One can only pray for such a miracle.
