Money is power indeed. But what you do with it defines how powerful you are. You could be as rich as Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos or whoever the heck is on the Forbes' richest people list but if you don't have the proper discipline to actually manage and maintain your wealth, you're as bad as every body else in this world. Money rules the world because it has value, and people hold on to this fabricated concept of value so dearly that they are willing to slave themselves off 5 days a week for more of this, even if it means less time to spend for themselves. I'm not saying that I am not, because truth be told everyone who buys stuff with money is inevitably subject to this cycle, but at the end of the day, we are expected to do it. Money rules this world because we have let it rule us.

Money is important in the earth we live. It is that important because it is manipulative, it can be used to change people's opinion , however some few people may not allow the influence of money on them.


Currently my country government has turn humans to museum, moving without no direction, helpless and monuments because for over 3 months now the government has seized to release money in circulation, banks refused to fix money in ATM's, no canter payment.


I think you are making reference to the Nigerian situation when you said 3 months. Well the Nigerian situation is political which started just as the 2023 federal elections started getting attention at the last quarter of 2022 but where it will eventually lead us to we don't know yet. The elections saw a high level of rigging by the ruling party (APC) against the people's choice candidate from (LP). The manipulations of the new designed currency on the election is yet to be unravelled and unfortunately, money can influence people against their personal and collective happiness.

Money is truly powerful.
Money is really powerful that if you are not careful, it can corrupt and ruin you. Even the Christian Bible says that the root of all evil is the excessive love for Money. To like money is good, but when you love it so much that you are willing to do anything just to get it, it becomes dangerous.

If everyone earns reasonably, no one would definitely accept their bribes and they will lose power.
Even if people earn reasonably, the ones that will collect bribes will still collect. The financial state of someone has an influence on whether the person will be tempted by money, but that is not all. If people who earn well still take bribes, it means that it is not the amount you make, but you level of integrity and love for money. If you love money too much, you will easily be tempted by it when offered especially in large amounts and you will be willing to dump your integrity for it. If you do not love money too much, you will not be tempted to take bribes.

Money is not what is ruling the world, people are, they only use the influence through having enough money to make things happen as they desires, many have been going through their selfish interest because they think the money that have is their legitimate voice forgetting that there are instances whereby money fails and people take good position to realize their value over money and its influence.

The politicians are ruling the world and how do they do it in corrupt countries. They do it with money. When they must have stollen the people's money to the brim. They will begin to use the money to oppress the people.
They make policies that will push the people more to poverty so that during elections they will see people they will bring. If everyone earns reasonably, no one would definitely accept their bribes and they will lose power.
So, they use money to acquire power and use power and money to suppress the people.

The reason why money rules the world is that it is the biggest belief system. Economical resources can be developed if only there is a potency and assurance of a money that has an interest and the labour force that goes with it. We believe that in the future occurrence, we can convert the current investment, whether human resources or capital will become piling up.

The sole reason for money back then was backed by a value based on scarcity, there are energy and time spent, nowadays, the printing machine and simply everyone believes 1 dollar is equal to another FIAT is enough.

Money rules the world because a man who is a billionaire is respected and loved by everyone. Why? Because he has the superpower to control everything from money whether a person or a thing. We can’t even think a man who has no money in his pocket can easily rule the world. That’s the reason the world is only ruling by those who have money to do all the things that they want which is although a darker side of our lives.
Money is the equivalent of material goods, and we live in the material world and for our normal existence we need such goods. With the help of money, that is, in fact, material goods, people can solve many of their problems. Therefore, material goods, money, are of great importance in the life of every person. It is only important that the desire for material goods and comfort does not crowd out the needs of the spiritual plane in us. Here you need to maintain a certain balance, and this is even more important than all material wealth.

Money is ruling the world simply because we need it to survive and live the way we want. Everything nowadays couldn't run without money from small businesses to the largest companies. No one can survive without money in the current economic situation that we have. People never stop working just to earn money because we are all aiming to survive and live comfortably not just for ourselves but also for our families. They say money can't buy happiness but in reality, money can't provide happiness especially if we can purchase the things we want, reach our goals, buy assets, travel, or even live a luxurious life.

Money drives away every feelings that makes life better. Money is truly powerful
In this modern era, with so much technological sophistication and money, it has taken root in the hearts and minds of humans as a means of exchange to meet their needs and desires, so that many people exchange their time, thoughts and energy to get money.
Actually, money is worthless because it is an inanimate object, but because many people believe that money has value, money becomes valuable so many people need it and because of that money can be as powerful as it is now in influencing everything in this world.

For me, money is everything, when I have money I can order anyone, buy anything, even happiness. Our world has changed and we need to adapt to it if we don't want to be eliminated. Money is just a man-made tool to serve us, but in the end, we are all manipulated by it, it's a sad truth, but the world works that way now.

Money is power, but without thinking and a strong financial foundation, you risk being destroyed by those powers. Look at the wealth of wealth or the ruling families. These families weaken in the third and fourth decades. In the fourth generation, rich children come and they have all sufficient resources since their birth, yet they may fail to maintain That wealth and they may become poor.

Look also at the basketball and soccer players, who once spent millions and now some of them either wash cars or beg for their food.
Money alone is not enough. Money is power, but it needs a foundation and sufficient education.

Nowadays everything is possible if person has money. There are so harsh condition these days that a man cannot Offord daily uses due to high prizes and reduce income. Poor man cannot live a life in this situations as the worth of each and everything is elevated.

I think that in this era those are successful who have money and has a power. But one important thing about wealth is that those who have more money have more fear of losing it and to be robbed.

Money comes from money so if you use money you will easily get the things in better way.

people are greedy, power is what moves people. Money is a tool for those means.
Why work on yourself if a million of $ can make you important?
Feeling important is what moves them.

That’s the reason the world is only ruling by those who have money to do all the things that they want which is although a darker side of our lives.
So a man who is not a billionaire cannot be respected, simple as that, which is why men are treated as trash unless they have money, the world has gone so cold on men, we can't all win, someone must be more powerful than the other. Today's world has forgotten that men are still humans, not superhumans. Because of this, the world expects a lot of more from men, and if they can't keep up, they are a failure. What a cold world we live in.

Why only men? I think without money, no one is respected. I have witnessed a painful truth in my village: when an old mother has no wealth left to her children. Her children all became heartless, no one took care of her, even kicked her out into the street because no wealth was left, and no one wanted to spend more money to feed the old woman.

In today's society, if I don't want to use the word wretched, I don't know what word to use, if we don't have money, then even if we are a husband and wife, no one will respect each other. Money is ruling everything and it is the priority in every relationship.

Why money??

Because money is the only thing that is used everywhere as a transfer of value. That's the simplest answer to this question. Global banks and governments need a tool to transfer values from one place to another. That's where money came in and now rulling the world.

You replace money with monkey and monkeys will start rulling the world! As simple as that!

Money is a tool the elites use to control the masses. As long as you’re working for money, you’re being controlled by the system. I believe everyone should have a goal to retire early and get out of the rat race and really enjoy life.

So a man who is not a billionaire cannot be respected, simple as that, which is why men are treated as trash unless they have money, the world has gone so cold on men, we can't all win, someone must be more powerful than the other. Today's world has forgotten that men are still humans, not superhumans. Because of this, the world expects a lot of more from men, and if they can't keep up, they are a failure. What a cold world we live in.
That’s the way it’s always been and should remain so in my opinion. Today’s men have lost their sense of masculinity and are taught to be more sensitive; to complain;  and talk about their feelings. The ones who try to be manly are considered toxic. Throughout history it can be found that Money and status is what drives a man.

I wouldn’t necessarily say that money is ruling the world cause in my opinion, it’s not. Admittedly, money is very important as we need money to purchase whatever we want whenever we want it.
Personally, I think we indirectly and directly give more and more power to money with our love and pursuit for money. There are people who are willing to do unimaginable things hence selling their conscience and their soul for money. These are the people that let money rule and control them.
Thankfully there are still people who wouldn’t dance to the sweet sweet tunes of money no matter how skilled the player is.
Money would rule the world if only we allow it.
I agree with your opinion that money doesn't necessarily rule the world to an extent and I said to an extent because there are still few million inhabitants of the earth who still prioritize their conscience, integrity, beliefs and values more than than the figures of money and those sets of people can be excused from the notion that money is ruling the world and I would say they only make 5% of world population.

That being said, it doesn't change the fact that money is ruling the world because the remaining 95% of world population can be influenced with money. The phrase that "money can not buy everything" I think was phrased by a rich man who wanted to give poor people
genuine reasons to remain poor. Money can buy almost everything in the world and the very few things money can not buy, money will facilitate the means to get them thereby making money the sole facilitator of everything in the world.  That is why it is safe to say that money is ruling the world.

At first I thought is power than anything, later on I said it's should be economic resources, then I realizes is money. I will give a brief poem here! The breeze blew and stake moistures and when it blew hales, it was just the breeze moving while the moistures is running away with fears.

The mist of human fears is control by what is next to their breath. Money has power than anything, money makes one feels secure, alive and superior. When money leaves we felt life is gone, we feel dead, we feel empty, we feel hopeless.

Currently my country government has turn humans to museum, moving without no direction, helpless and monuments because for over 3 months now the government has seized to release money in circulation, banks refused to fix money in ATM's, no canter payment.
Everyone is helpless, no money no good food, no transportation, no job, no love, no smiles, no good health.

Money drives away every feelings that make life better. Money is truly powerful
Humans cannot survive without basic needs like water, food, shelter, and clothing, and all these are bought with money. This means if you don't have money, you are going to fall sick and die. That's why money is very important. Apart from these basic needs, there are other secondary once that is also very important. If there are other means of satisfying these needs apart from buying them with money, money would have lost some of its influence.

The government has been insensitive to the sufferings of the masses because it doesn't affect them, their families, and their friends. Nigerians are faced with inflation, increase in petroleum price, lack of fiat, and insecurity. People now have to buy the Naira as if they are buying another foreign currency. Economic activities have been negatively affected because most businesses and some customers don't have access to fiat. The most annoying part of the situation is that the bank's online and mobile channels are not functioning properly. Sometimes it could take more than three days for a transfer to be confirmed.

Some people are currently living close to hell during this period.

The poem is very deep, but it is true because without money we have nothing, even though we can live like in the forest and rely on food there, but it is difficult. That's how it is without it: we can't eat, we can't purchase our needs. Even though we just came out to the world, we really rely on money to buy necessities. Also, the sad truth is that using money, they can be powerful; they can give money to evade laws and even control people.
