Money In Life & Love - The Incorrect Truth

I had so many thoughts coming to mind when I read the topic about "something I knew all along but turns out to be incorrect". Indeed, we learn everyday and the learning continues until the day we die. A very good enough reason I don't argue much when I hear something different from what I know or have been learning.

We learn to grow and I want to believe I have the mindset of growth as I always tend to stay on the listening side when something new whether awesome or just some random stuff is going on, that way, I get to learn and pick up what's important to add to my knowledge.

Well, that would be the best explanation to how I got to learn from my childhood that there are some things above money in life which I've believed to be Life and Love. While there may be many reasons to believe this, there have been more reasons money have huge role to play in these to work properly.

I've grown to see and believe that indeed, going in search of money first doesn't mean life and love are not important but it means, life and love are too important that money is needed to carry out their function well enough. I don't preach earn money, as much as you can before you search for love or live the life you want.

I'll say you keep a balance... Time for money, go earn some. Time for life, enjoy yourself and time for love, love and be loved.

Giving a statement that life is more important than money or love is more important, I don't find truth in that, I mean, anymore. Yeah, I thought there were truth in it and that is because I've been told that right from my childhood. And again, there were good instances like, can you earn money without life? it makes sense but can life move smoothly without money? Can love flourish without money? No, is my answer.

And no, it doesn't have to be so much money. The richest in the world can't be said to be the happiest in the world today, they may be happy but we do have those with little earnings but are very happy and contented, love and life can flourish there too.

Another point where what I learnt turned out to be a lie is that fact that people feel "Having money means having a lot of it before they get started with what should be done" but rather, what I've seen to be true is "Just as we define successes differently, what we call enough differs as well".

Money is important as much as life and love are important to us, it makes better sense that way. It's hard to be satisfied with our achievements but having a contented mind won't make you do the illegal for these successes to come. I believe with the aim to live and love, we need money and the importance shouldn't be underestimated.
