They say parents should be the provider of love and money for their children. Love is an emotional quality and ability every human being have in their being. Then the capacity is very individual.
Then this quantity of having money is also very different. Some are born with an endless of weath in properties, money and all kinds of materials.
I'm among those who are trying to earn money, to make money for providing for children and surviving.
People who have succesfully earned huge wealth of money and material are admired by many.
Should we be valued as a human being related to how much money we have and are able to earn?
Aren't we worthy as human being as we are?
There is only one of each of us with our individual DNA.
Is life only about to be in the rat race chasing money?

Life is what you make it. I think in this society we are valued by how much money we have or are able to earn. It is sad that it has to be that way. Alot of people live beyond their means and wonder why they can never catch up. It is easy to get in a rut and then very little way out.

That's very true. Even human lives are valued in money. As for putting yourself in debts and then you financial situation suddenly change. It's like trying to keep your nose over the surface of water trying to keep your breath steady. Thanks for your response.

I admire your question. I also find that many people like to relate people to the money they make or the money thay have. This is absolutely wrong cuz we should judge a person through other aspects, for example, his/her virtue, ability...
Money is not everyting. But people tend to judge a persn by how much money one made. So, you can not change thier stereotypes. Try to accept them. And be a nice person yourself.
GOOD NIGHT!

I accept people for who they are. It just I have experience been valued as nothing because for what I have in materials and not being valued for my qualities, abiliies and skills as a human being by some people. About being a nice person I try my best after being used,bruised, wounded and scared. I always try to turn the other cheek up front with a humbled smile of compassion. I thank you for your response. Have a glorious day!

Our three basic needs are shelter, food and clothing, and for this money is required, all are not born with a silver spoon in rich families, many have to struggle hard, it depends upon past karma as well as present..
we should not run after money much if we really want to be happy, my view lol..
Have a nice day ahead.

Money can't buy anything you want,that is exactly correct.However we should never stop the step to pursuit it in the life,because we need it to satisfy our material requests.Money is not a tool to measure you,you are the only in the world.that is my opinion.

First of all, in my opinion, those rich persons whould not be admired because of their accumulated money. They should be admired on what and how they accumulated that wealth. Of course those money form evil and wrongdoings are not the one I am pointing out in here. The classic character of hardwork, persevarance and discipline from those wealthy men are the characters to be admired. That is why most humans are valued with the association of money because having quite a sum of money is hard thing to do. But of course, the amount of money isn't the only thing that should be considered on valuing a human being. That is where the other personality which doesn't involve money comes in. Just my two cent in here!

Sadly, it is reality. Many people does value people who are wealthy. Sometimes, these people would even admire the wealthy than a poor highly educated person even if the wealth of these affluent people are from illegal businesses. As for me, I don't value people for the riches they acquire. I value them equally. But I don't put importance on people who are wealthy and arrogant. I don't consider them respectable even the poor people who only value the wealthy as if they are truly higher in status in the society.

The way that I see it is. We all have our part to play in this dance that we call life. Some of us are born lucky. We are born with money. Born with a family that loves and cares for us. Born with special talents, or various other ideal ideals which make us special. And then there are other types of people who are given the short end of the stick, who aren't born with anything special, anything outgoing about them, and you know what? I blame those people for their shortcomings, because it is ignorant to believe that just because someone is born better off than you doesn't mean that they are actually better off.
Most people only see what is on the outside, not the inside.

Personally my beliefs in life have always been more about God and working to be happy and to be able to help others in ways more than just money. There have been many times when the money has not always been there, and I have had to really struggle and personally that is OK. Just a way for God to continue to tell me to trust him more. I am Glad I do no have money nor has it never really been something that has been easy for me. I think I have become a stronger better person because of it.

I agree with changjiangzhibin89 friend no matter I am rich or poor I believe on my efforts and destiny both. I know I will try to better earning then God gives me but I am not like much more because no much more money is also not good lots of tension and direct effects on sleepiness. So I request to God only give me according to my requirements. Because I never interested in jewelery, traveling, hoteling etc. So I am satisfied with less money.

Some people were born to wealth;others were from an impoverished families.Some are rags to riches.Most people give the cold shoulder to the poor and make up to the rich man.however, no matter whether we are the poor or rich man,we must have self-esteem and become a kind-hearted person.

Definitely not! Life is about enjoy and happiness. And money cann't buy happiness. But everybody needs money to support themselves and their family. So it is reasonable that everybody is chasing money. Different people will have different ways to make money. To me, earn money is a good feeling. And use the money that I earned to enjoy my life is a better feeling.

In my own perception, I can't blame some people who are racing for money. Would you? I think money is the most important in the world. They do for survival. We can't live if we just lay down on the grass, while waiting for an apple to drop from a tree. Won't you agree. It is a fact, reality bites in some point.

I don't believe that we should be judged by how much money we have or make. I believe it is best to judge people by their morals and personalities and the size of their heart. I would rather be around someone with a big heart then a big bank account. I know some wealthy people and they are not nice people. I would rather sit and talk to a kind person in front of their trailer then sit with a jerk in their mansion.

Actually, we shouldn't use money to value each individual. But sad to said, our society are doing that way and seems only the rich are being well-known for their works. But, there are many poor people who also did excellent job but never be appreciated. Anyway, we should always look to the positive side of life with kindness, no matter whether we are poor. Our kindness will surely be known one day.

Yes, one must earn money for survival and meeting minimum needs of life. This is essential but being in the rat race indefinitely is absolutely foolish.
The ultimate purpose of life is happiness, and surely, it is not dependent on how much money you have but on how you utilize what you have. So, go on loking for happiness, every moment of life, every way. All the best, You are right in your perception, keep it up.
