Fortunately, the government cannot print money haphazardly. Because too much printing will make the value of the currency itself decrease and cause super inflation. and it is this limited printing of money that makes money valuable. And people started to work hard for money. nowadays money is indeed the most important thing that must be owned financially. because even power and such can be bought by money. But that doesn't mean money rules the world. because in my opinion it is precisely those who control the world who make the system and control the world's finances today. like Central Bank and such.
Yes, we all know and agree that money should not be printed uncontrollably due to its adverse effects on economy but that should not stop the government from making money available to her citizens. The OP said that government refused to release money for some months and thereby making life difficult for them. At least, a reasonable amount should be made in circulation for masses consumption through banks, ATM, POS and any other means possible.
Government sometimes deliberately punish her citizens with their unfavorable financial policies. Similar thing happened in my country earlier this year when the government and central bank embark on currency redesign. The kind hardship experience by the masses during that period is inexplicable. It reaches an extent we use money to buy money which I have never experienced or heard before.
Unarguably, money itself is not ruling the world as the topic of this thread implies rather those who control the money rule the world directly or indirectly. It should be however noted that power and money work in hand.
When you have health, you can use it to make money, but if you have health, you can't make money, it doesn't help you either. Because over time your health will also decrease with age, due to eating... but if you have a lot of money, you will maintain your health and can maintain a longer life. So I don't think health will be more important than money.
We do not live in this world alone, we have loved ones and families and their health is sometimes more important than our own. And to maintain their health, you need money, so money is still the most important thing in today's society.
Does having money guarantee good health or long life? The answer is obviously NO! from observation, dangerous sicknesses are associated with rich men than in the case of poor people. I see everything wrong in your comment. Money can not be more important than health and no family or loved one's health important than my health. What will be the essence of having money and can not be able to spend it other than treating yourself? Having money is good, having good health is better but having both is the best.
