Reasons Why Money Shouldn't Be Blamed For All Our Sufferings

Man versus money/themainewire.com

Why can't people put the blames where it belonged instead of putting it all on money?. If it's this, is money; if it's that, it's money. money! money!! and money!!! and yet money never talks.

If it's really to be, what has gone wrong with money, where has it not lived up to expectations and what sin has money committed to deserve all these blames and much more?
 If things are moving well for a person, money will be involved, if it's going the other way round, money would be mentioned also.

Some families or individuals are well intact today and are living their dreams while many others are in disarrays and are afflicted with all forms of challenges  due to some likely negligence on their parts. Even as that, money still takes all the blames.
Is money the real culprit or we humans? why can't we put the blames where it truly belong and set the innocent and ever obedient money free?

 Look at the following scenario:

"Can we talk? I mean, can we really talk heart to heart the way we used to talk before this sudden change"? Those where the weeping voice of a woman whose husband suddenly become millionaire, leading to drastic changes in their love life.

 The woman could not get her husband to spend at least two days with her in a full month because he is busy with his multiple business commitments with less time for his wife and three children. Money was the core issue at stake. Imagine, poverty has taken preferences instead of wealth.

Ask the man why he is doing that and he will give enough reason why he has to take care of his family at all cost. Yeah, he will tell you that it is his responsibility to care for his family and that the way you see him doing it is just the best way he could.

  As for the person asking him such questions, no matter how well intended he may be, putting every other things into consideration often sends him searching for the right words to continue the discussion or the  advice with even though he may be right. For good reason, money has to be made because it's very important.

It is often with this very sense of responsibility that many people end up making more money and on the other hand, creating more problems that the billions they made could not be able to solve. Making of money is not bad but the only problem is when it is pursued at the cost of every other important things in life.

Consider the following examples:

 We want to get to our destinations faster, fully rested and safe, that's the reason why we make uses of vehicles, planes or other modes of transportation. Good, But what then is the benefits of doing that if we ended up not reaching our destinations because of violating the rules guarding the uses of whatever we are making use of?
We don't just accelerate because the vehicle can move or enter the road anyhow without making sure of other oncoming vehicles, if we do, chances are abound of getting involved in an accident which could even take our life or have us paralyzed for life, still if not for any other things, would delay us unnecessarily.

Money is good and not evil as most of us assume it to be. Money is an obedient servant and is always ready to do that which it's sent for. Money is the reason why so many families are giving God the glories night and day; also the reason why untold number of people the world over are crying night and day.
Because of it's usefulness, money is sometimes said to be an answer to all problems both major and minor.

On it's own, money is good, the only problem is our attitudes towards money and what we do because of it. It's like stepping on others in a bid to get to a place we want. If while doing that and have some people injured on the process, it's not to be taken as if where we are going is bad rather the blames should be on us for disregarding others because of our selfish aims.

 Bad Attitudes Towards Money

In one word! people's attitudes towards money is not good. When we lack good attitude toward anything in life, how we react to it usually show the extent of our poor judgements on it. As humans, we are constantly stressed about money leading to making too many poor financial decisions that often get us into more and more worries about money.

Whatever our attitude toward money is, the simple truth about it is that we all need it for our survival and upkeep. As the result of our bad attitude toward money, many people are suffering bitterly and are losing the battles of having their finances properly secured.

 The Paradox Of Our Time

Based on the general attitude of people towards money, a research conducted some years ago identified four major attitudes that can hurt people's finances. These money 'script' as it was termed, can drive our financial decisions badly and leave both our finances and lives at a very sorry state.

 The Four Bad Attitudes Towards Money:

1.Self Worth

Money should not control us/dailymail.co.uk

  When we tie our self-worth to our net worth, it simply shows how unintelligent we are and how fearful we are also toward other important things in life. It makes us to believe that our money status is more important than all other things and that's the reason why some chose to abandon their families in pursuit of money, just to maintain their status.

2. Money miser

 When we are overly secretive and wary about money, we lose focus in spending it on the right things. Those that have this unhealthy traits often deny themselves the benefits of enjoying what they have. They hoard it instead of using it to do something important. Money is meant to be spent and not for keep.

3. Worshiping Money

 Some have the believe that the more money they have, the less problem for them but this has often proved to be a mirage. People with this attitude are usually laden with heavy depths doing every thing imaginable to have money and protect it at all cost, even their children, if they raise any, are often trained to view money as second God.

 Why It Is Good To Avoid Criticism....

4. Extreme Money Avoidance

 Due to wrong belief about money, some simply believe that is bad and need to be avoided. The truth still remains that such kinds of people do go to market, wear cloths, eat food and do all other things with money.  Having a fearful attitude toward money neither solve any problem but create more and projects the person as a hypocrite. Why? You still use what you disgust.

We can't say it all and for sure, the issue about money is too broad that even a million pages book cannot address it at a go. But what then is to be our attitudes towards it?

1. Worrying about money never solve any problem but create more worries that could lead to spending it even by force. Whether you have it or not.

2. Money is good but definitely not master of all things. Never disregard your fellow humans because of money.

3. Work for money if you has to but remember to have it work for you in return for the very reason why you denied yourself some comforts initially.

4. Do not abuse money because it is meant for some honorable purposes and covers our shames in many situations

5. Do not look at money as the reason why do some meager jobs but look at the reason why you has to do it.

Having the right perspectives about money shields us from too many sad situations in life to the extent that we don't have to die because of it but instead live because of it.

We don't have to die for making money. Making of money should rather be why we have to live responsible lives and have our self respects well protected where it really matters.
