Topic: Money and wealth as the major religions in world. - page 14. (Read 1930 times)

Indeed, everyone definitely needs money because many things can be obtained from it, but many have also found happiness other than money. for someone who is religious, spiritual things that can make life happier or grateful for what they have, and in fact happiness comes from the heart.

In today's materialistic world, many humans live like robots. Every day is imprisoned with routine work that seems endless to achieve one goal: money. This thing is so hailed, praised and fought for until the last drop of blood. How to find it is not important anymore, the important thing is to be able to. Hitting and elbowing each other, even with their own friends and family, is considered a common thing to get this object. They forget that life is not forever. They forget, that life is not just to collect the coffers of wealth. They forget that life is not only about material things.

All that happens because the brain and mind have been closed by worldly lust and lust. Yes, that's humans who are never satisfied with what they have. When you don't have a car, you want to have a motorbike. When you have a motorbike, you want to take a car. When you have 1 car, you want to have 2 cars. Endless.

How long do we have to be slaves to the world? Life is too beautiful and precious to spend just chasing the world and everything in it. Real wealth is in the form of blessings of life, body health, togetherness with beloved family, and happiness when you can share with others.

You only live once, so use it well to benefit others. Isn't the best human being the one who can benefit others and those around him? Life is really about giving, giving and giving. We must be able to leave a legacy for the next generation. If an elephant dies leaving tusks, a tiger dies leaving stripes, then humans die leaving behind their deeds and works. So, when we leave this world, we smile happily and others cry because of loss.

Throughout history, no one has ever been honored for what he has received. Honor is an award for those who have given something meaningful to those around them.

The cultural shift towards worshipping money and power could be palpable and easy to define.

In the 1970s to 1980s, many gang leaders in the united states encouraged gang members to settle disputes with break dance battles rather than violence. That could represent an idealistic and civilized perspective of an era where human life, honor and values are recognized.

At some more recent point in history, the majority involved in gangs and organized crime sold out and became all about money and power. They don't encourage people to be honorable or settle fights with break dance battles anymore. All they care about is money. Human life is worth nothing to them.

That precedent also applies to the business world, religion and many aspects of life. There are many examples and historical trends which define the shift.

Around the time of the great depression, sears sold prefabricated houses. Due to the great depression many who bought prefab homes from sears could not afford payments. Sears declined foreclosing on their homes as they deemed it immoral. Could anyone imagine banks behaving like that today.

Long story short, money and wealth rising to prominence as dominant ideology is definitely a thing. But perhaps there is room for some type of backlash and counter culture movement towards the polar opposite. Its up to people to decide what type of world they want to live in.

Actually, the purpose of everyone's life is to get comfort and sufficiency.
Wealth and title only as a vehicle to get the comfort of the human heart live in this world.
How high the position and wealth of humans if they do not have a sense of comfort, all of it is considered worthless.

I do not think that accumulating wealth is the bad part, you can accumulate wealth for any reason you want, of course it should not be to hurt other people, but if it is only for your own and doesn't hurt others then it is fine to have as much money as you want. It is HOW you accumulate wealth that matters. Jeff Bezos is the richest person in the world, kudos to him for having that much money, but how did he do it? He is paying people so little and giving them so little off time that people commit suicide while working there, yes you heard it right, the work there is so bad that people literally kill themselves. You can look this up, there has been a lot of suicides in amazon warehouses.

I am not even talking about the people who go to toilet in their delivery trucks or pee in bottles or the people who apply for food stamps because their salary is so low. Get as wealthy as you want, just don't do it in a bad way like Jeff did.

I dont understand why you have to compare the two.  I don't think anyone ( or most anyone ) is actually comparing their money and wealth to religions or do they see money and wealth as a "religion".  That really doesn't even make any sense.  Now maybe you're referring to greed, which I suppose there is certainly a good amount of that but comparing money as a religion I just don't understand.

It is really true that most people aim to make a lot of money and live a more comfortable life in terms of being able to afford whatever they would like. Honestly, I would also like to maintain earning a good amount of money to be able to buy the things I want easier. And it is a totally normal thing that people want. Who wouldn't like to reach the things they have dreamt so far in the end? This is the common goal of people.

Trying to survive and thrive in a rigged system is one thing.
Your or other people's believes about God,the meaning or life,the creation of the universe or life after death are a completely different thing.Money and wealth doesn't provide any explanation about the meaning of life.
We live in a market economy and everything is measured in money.The fact that you are using money doesn't mean that you believe that money is a God or religion.Money is just a tool used to measure the value of goods and services and to re-distribute wealth by using the market system.

It's bad to accumulate wealth for selfish or wrong reasons. Better not to call it your own whether you have alot or not... That would mean using your wealth to help the needy and for the good of people/society. You can provide services, build good schools, industries with the wealth for the benefit of others. Alots of people do this to accumulate more wealth making it hard for everyone to afford their goods and services. 

Religion simply means serving the CREATOR of Heaven and Earth in Holiness and Righteousness.
You are not serving the CREATOR if you accumulate wealth while others are in need or can't afford your goods and services that earn you the wealth.

This is more related to politics and society.

What humans want most in life after good health is money.

Are you sure it is not all? Who doesn't want to have money? What I know is that nobody wants to be poor, if not to be poor, then money is needed.

The world is becoming more wicked, especially in countries where there is no employment while countries that there is employment are still also becoming more wicked, people are chasing money ever than before.

This Covid-19 pandemic has shown me how obsessed people are with money.  

Governments around the world are prepared to risk 1000's of people's lives to force an experimental vaccine onto their own citizens to reduce the impact that this vaccine are causing on their economy. The main drive behind these mandated vaccine campaigns are not to save people's lives, but to stop the lockdowns and the disruption that these lockdowns are having on the economy. (When an economy are not functioning, it does not generate profits and when there are no profits, there are no taxes)

People are willing to inject an experimental vaccine into their own young children, with a death rate of less than 1% amongst children, as a result of this virus.  

How many of the large pharmaceutical companies are paying bribes to governments to push their vaccines? (In return, these companies gets 100% immunity against possible lawsuits, if the vaccines cause death or other severe adverse reactions)

                                     :(Money has now become more important than human lives.  

This article is particularly stunning and I am envisioning checking for each situation away from of your posts.

Money is considered the basic of our basics. I'ts relevance is incomparable since people work so hard for the sake of money, and to feed their family's needs. But money should not be considered as a religion that drives the spiritual aspect of a human.

However, there are a lot of advantages if you have the money and wealth. That's where you can be a good samaritan that is always ready to help others and a very good provider that you can sustain not just the needs of your family but you are much capable to give some willful donations especially in times of unexpected calamities that may arise.

We all dreamed about having money to be wealthy. To lead an easier life. Most of us strive and tried our best to accomplished our goals and some people did, however not all of us could get rich just because we had dreamed about it.

You see, money could lead us to chaos. Many people are blinded because of money. Some even some steal for money, some sold drugs, some currupt, some even kill just to get money and enjoy their luxury life as if they didn't do something wrong. Sometimes money could make us evil because of our greediness but not all of us. There are still people out there who had pure hearts who use money for good things, like donating and helping other people.

There are different types of people.

The good thing about having wealth and money is that you are able to share it to those who are needing it so badly. But for some greedy people, its the fruit of their hardwork so they should enjoy it on their own. I see money is very essential nowadays not just for our own wants but mainly for our survival. But i don't claim it as the most important thing in this world. We have family and loved ones that are even more important. And above all, we have God that is our everything.

There is something called necessity and there is something called luxury. For most people earning enough money for their basic necessity is something which drives them. There have been instances where people struggle even if they are rich, all the money in the world cannot make them happy. It does not matter how much money you have, what matters is how you handle it and how content you are with the whole world?

I do think that the main focus should be investing in yourself, investing in your education, making sure you are on track, undoubtedly people focus on money and they need to, since in today's world, it's not only important but you cannot actually survive without it.


Having 10$ would not make you happy, but have you ever tried buying food with that 10$ for the homeless people around and distributing them? Wishing them to have a nice day? That would make you happy, content.

For me I do believe it's all about earning enough where you can not only sustain yourself but at the same time help others as well. There is no happiness without kindness.

In one sense everyone tries to make money and wealth but money is not everything in another sense money can't make a pure man in the world if his own personality doesn't work for good work. But I agree money is the main goal of every people.

I don't really understand religion, but money is just a means to an end tbh. It's not the end. Even if you're goal was to become the richest person in the world, in the end, money isn't really the end, it's the acknowledgment behind it. I don't deny that people want money, they work to earn money, heck you can even say that the world is centered around earning money, but it was only done so since money was the means that was made by society to give you what you want.

Agreed, and according to religious belief, if you die, you cannot bring the money with you. Though you are correct that money makes life easier and allows you to be happier, many people believe that you cannot truly find true happiness solely because of money. We really need money to buy our basic needs, and while some of our wants are unnecessary, others are grateful and wealthy because they can afford them. As far as I'm concerned, everyone needs money, but if there is a lot of it, I believe we should share it with others because no one is equal in this world.

People need money to create wealth to meet their needs by earning money is the means of buying or selling things and making life easier for people if there is a means for exchanging money we must be hardworking to make more money than people will need. Money or paper money is just a certain type of wealth and makes many rich people rich it does not carry the true identity of man.
