Money and Life
MONEY
AND LIFE
Cl. Mario D’Couto SDB
There
was a nice quotation that I came across some time ago which goes thus, “It
is good to have money and things money can buy. But it is good too, to check up
once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things money can’t
buy.” This quotation brings about a nice contrast between money and
life.
Some
people say that money is the cause of all evil. However, such may not be the
case. Money is important in life. If we did not have money, then who would provide
for our basic needs? Everything costs today and so money has its due place. The
problem however comes in when we begin to absolutize it, as though to say that
was the only important thing in life. Such an attitude is wrong and this is
something we need to beware of.
