Topic: Money above all things, Yes or no ? - page 35. (Read 23867 times)
Im sorry but this may sound a hypocrite answer but Ill say happiness and health is everything. I mean when I say happiness everything had been in it already and as for me what brings me happiness? Something that made me satisfied and content which let's be realistic here money can buy. Health is of course should be considered as above all things I mean if you died or if you suffered from an illness you cant enjoy money at all not even your life. I dont know if we can buy life as of the moment , life i mean the life, another life, which none that I know of as of the moment.
Many things that can not be valued with money, for example is health, everyone is willing to lose all money for health, so in life we must be balanced in order to enjoy this life.
Yes that is a great point but when you don't have money then your health is at risk and it is riskier than having a money because when you have a money then you can take care of yourself, you can eat healthy foods and that is how you will prevent from getting extreme diseases so if you will have a wealth then you don't need to worry about your health.
Honestly speaking with reality, We do need to place money above all things, to support your family you need money, to support your studies you need money, to eat delicious foods you need money, with money you can gain happiness, you can help people, you can support your family and i hope other posters here are not fake enough to not to accept that money should be above all things.
money is not everything but everything needs money. can not be denied indeed if the current money above everything the existence of money is sanagat in need in the daily life of the economy.
Funny how both things you mention work very similarly. And yet.

What exactly are we looking for. Many people have financial advantages but eventually end up suicide. . I want to earn a lot money to secure living and have a better life, but I do not disrespect or hate others I also pray to God and I will always remember even I am busy sometimes
I can see that people nowadays are busy searching on money and everything depends on money. People nowadays never go to church just because they would rather earn money rather than praise God. Others do not pay respect to elders because they earn money for them or richer than them. Well for you, is money above all things ?
I do not agree with this statement, I think money is just a complement to happiness and not above everything, we can be happy even without money, but we are not necessarily happy despite having money.

Money above all things is not good and really is a bad thing. As you said that others do not give respect because of they are richer than others. And if you make money above all things you will become greedy. And love nad God must be above all things. Of course money plays a big role in our lives, we can't live without it in our modern world, but to say that they are above all things? no, money can't buy health, love, family. You can have a lot of money but be alone.
Money is even the least. There are many things that needs to come first before money, and first is God, second is Love, before you can talk about money. Money in your life without God and love is useless. Just imagine how it will feel when everybody hates you. It will even reach a point that no one will patronise your business anymore and you will certainly end up poor. Don’t forget that you’re into bitcoin today because you’re alive, so I will also count Life.

true .. money is everything. everyone is busy looking for money for his life needs. without money you can not live .. you are not living in the jungle .. you live in a modern era where all need money. I think everyone in this forum is looking for money .. many ways they do to earn money. some are investing bitcoin, others offer services to others. I think people are looking for bitcoin as well to earn money. so money is a necessity today
Money is an important component in our lives. With the help of them we can buy our own housing, food, clothes and other necessary things for a comfortable life. A visit to the church will not give us all this without work.
Money can't buy respect and love so I'd say no. If I had to rank it, first would be respect, second would be love, money comes third. Money could be the bridge to obtain those other two but it does not necessarily mean it is the most important because they can also be obtained by doing good deeds even without money.

Not all of you are buying money, it's important that you're happy with the problem and you're going to be a family member because the money is down but the love of a whole family is worthless for whatever value
Actually the opposite is true, money is BELOW all things. BY DEFINITION!!
By definition it is that commodity which you are most willing to trade away, thus it is below all things as the least valuable thing to you. If something else were less valuable to you, you would use that other thing for trade - and this would take over as your monetary or exchange commodity.
This is the essence of Gresham's law.
We also see this in the truism that "if you're in it for the money you're an amateur". Indeed, if you are in something for the money it means you don't care about that thing. Rather, you do the thing for an external goal - so you can fund another thing you care about. \
Yes, it's true that many endeavors are made much easier with the proper tools - such as cash in hand. But the nature of this relationship is that the endeavor in question is the desired goal. The money is BELOW this goal, a tool or a means to an end.

Not totally 
but we can't remove the fact that money runs this world.
If you don't have money, you can't buy your necessities and you can't live with much satisfaction compare to those who are plenty. If you don't have money, you're a nobody (sad to say but that's true ) but it doesn't mean that money is the only source of happiness, you can find happiness everywhere (it can be your family, friends, your special someone, peace etc.). Money only runs the world but never ever RULE the world.
Another thing also, if a person is already rich, he/she still don't have the rights to mock someone because we are all equal to His eyes. He/she must help to uplift others instead of puling them down. Humanity is still important.
For me, if I am asked to choose between money or doing religious activities, I choose both because you can also do those two at the same time, it's just a matter of balancing.

One user has stated oxygen as the requirement for living, but looking at the present scenario it seems that in future the people who have money only gets the access to oxygen. Why I say is that people have started to prioritize money than several other good things that are found in the relationship with family and friends.
But users are also right if they chose money to fulfill their requirements of living.
Without money you and me can't eat then if we compare money with oxygen then i don't think it is wrong.
Also now it became our society culture that anyone have more money then of course he has more respect than others. Money make relationship strong.
