Don't get me wrong here but I'm just amazed by the power of money this days. Why is it so powerful? It seems that every move we make, we need it and we're screwed if we don't have much. And I also feel that money can make or break a person's life....How about you? what's your thoughts on this? Am I making sense here? Please share your thoughts, thanks!

yeah right!! money is so powerful. you can do whatever you want, you can buy people in just a second especially poor people who really need money they will do anything. i don't think so that money can buy LOVE but they are some cases because of money they prefer to marry.by the way money cant buy HAPPINESS even though you have a lot of money. You can't bring money to heaven :)

I wonder about that too, but realize that money is very important in life.I don't say money is everything but it's very significant to change people life.Sometime can say " no money = no food = no school = no future = no life", it's simple pattern but we can't deny.Who is anyone not need money in life?I can say no one.

Hi whengcat Money today has sort of taken over so many lives where some will do just about anything to get their hands on it. While others will work until they drop as money is very needed and some simply do not know how to balance and separate life from work. It is sad though as some can't seem to make enough while others can make an over abundance and behave inhuman towards anyone needy.

Truly, money is powerful. Without it, we cannot buy our necessities in life. We need it to be able to buy things needed to run a household , an office , a company and the whole world. Though, i can say that desiring too much money could also wreck a family. Having no more time for the family just to earn money ruins the family. I think we should moderate our desire in having money. Too much of it could break us, really.

I have that same observation whengcat. The thing is the power of money is just so strong that it influences almost all aspects of anybody's life, any government institution,businesses from small to the bigwigs and even to churches. It's just so disheartening that it seems the world is revolving around money these days. Without money, you feel weak and helpless, like you don't have a personal weapon against any adversities that you may encounter. You need money to survive and that's a hard fact.

YES,money is so powerful today that it sometimes dictates how the people would live. Money can begin an argument with some people. It can also make us bad people if we really need it for our family and nobody wanted to lend us some. We can't live without money but I wish that some people who are gifted with it will be more sharing and sensitive to the need of other person around them.

Everything just needs money these days. I do not want to think about money and all but I can't help it since you will need it just to survive. I think that humans really are competitive in everything. They just want to have more just to be on top. How I wish that money never existed so that there will be no division from the rich and the poor.
