[b][i]Hi All, How many of you agree with this? I very well agree with this. The love and desire we show on things is more when we compare with the affection that we shower on humans.. What is your opinion on this? Is this a good sign of healthy living? Drop your comments...!!! [/i][/b]

There is some truth in that quotation. Let's read the sentence, then see the meaning of that quotation, and not just take it literally. The topic starter just wanted to reveal something from reality...

[b][i] Hi Friend !! I just wanted to convey that nowadays, the congenial atmosphere that one should get is totally absent because of today's competitive world. If this competition is of positive vibe which will trigger growth within us, then that is very well accepted, but in most of the cases , this desire we show on things especially money is never been a positive sign of growth. We almost do anything to achieve this evil, we also don't mind if we really lose good relation. At the end of the day, we ask to ourselves 'Did I earn more than my friend?'... This should change and it should be rather 'Have I made my people happy?, Did I make new friends today?, What should I do, to make my network of people stay with me always? and so on....'. These question should come to our mind..without thinking about money money money at all times. I agree we do need money for our survival. But the thing is 'Money should not rule us' ,After all we invented money...We should be the master over things.... Take care... [/i][/b]

I disagree with this statement. I love my children, I loved my grandparents, and love my family. I think it is natural to rely on those that we love, but I wouldn't confuse it with the word "use." I mean to use someone, we take what we want, and the push those people aside after we get what we want without giving their feelings a second though. Unfortunately, there are people like that in our society.
