Money
plays an important part' in our lives. In several aspects it is the most
important thing in life. It is therefore much sought after.
Without
money we could not buy our food, clothes and all the other things that we need
to live comfortably. We require money to travel, to buy medicine when we are
ill and also to pay for the services rendered' to us by others. In truth money
is almost indispensable to our survival’. Most of our activities are therefore
directed towards earning as much money as possible.
We use
money not only to meet the basic needs of life but also pay for our own
advancement. We use it for education which helps us to live a better life. Thousands of students are unable to attend
school or continue their studies for want of money. Lack of money also causes
great hardship’ and sorrow in hundreds of families. Thousands of people are
dying every day throughout the world because they are not able to pay their
doctors fee or because they cannot buy nutritious food.
As money
is so important, many crimes are committed everyday in all parts or the world
to gain possession of it. Some are driven by hunger and desperation to steal,
rob, and even kill to get at least that they require to keep body and soul
together. Others commit the most serious crimes out of sheer greed for money.
Such people cause much trouble and unpleasantness in society, and to bring them
to justice, large sums of money are spent by every government.
Today,
millions of dollars are being spent by the various governments in the world for
the betterment of the people. Numerous schools and hospitals are being built
and hundreds or acres or land are being cultivated to produce more food for the
growing population of the world. As a result, the world is gradually becoming a
better place to live in.
At the
same time however, much money is being wasted
in producing deadly weapons of war. Countries which have more money than
the others have become more powerful by strengthening their armed forces. This
has led to rivalries among the powerful nations, and several parts of the world
are in turmoil’. All this shows what an important part money plays in human
affairs.
