hello friends, We all know how people are ,there are some who can go up to any extent to use others. I think we should learn how to use money in our life and not people. But they don't realize this. People can just go up to any extent for their needs to get fulfilled. They don't realize that, this is life and they are also human beings like others. we should not play with others life. Friends what do you think? your valuable points.

It would indeed be a wonderful world if learned to use money and love people instead of the other way around. Most people love money and use people. sad

prashu It is not only sufficient for one to learnt to earn money. We must learn how to use it properly. if we are not alert there may be people who will take away all our money and when we really are in need of it we may not get it back. Supposing one earns Rs.100 he must learn to live within 70 and save the balance Rs.30. common people spend Rs.130 when they earn Rs.100-- result they borrow at higher interest-- I heard some people borrow at 12% interest per month--it will work out to 144% per year. such loans can never be repaid.

yes , i have seen people who spend more than they earn. that's bad feel, we should always spend less ans save some percent of our earning. And no debts at all. Making debts is like a disease. We cannot be happy ,if we make debts and eat.

yes ,i'm a obviously example of it.i just a student,without any incomes.but i spend so much money that i can't afford.it caused serious debts.during this days,my life was awful.i'm sure i don't want to taste it again.so learning how to use money is essential of my future life.

People who uses people to get what they want in life have no conscience . Because if they have it , they will not do that .

Hi friend, i agree, we don';t have any rights to play in other persons life, even though they are our beloved persons or spouse. Each and every one is having their own rights, no one have the rights to dominate other persons and use them for their needs. We must give equal importance to other persons.

I agree my friend. It should be the money not taking advantage of other people. That's not a good karma if they do bad things to other people. Good day!

People can be so calculating and see others as pawns to reach their goal, they care not one iota about anyone, they are self-centred, selfish and quite frankly users, and will step on anyone who gets in their way. That sounds like my ex, I am sure I was only with them for what I could give, my partner couldn't drive, so it was left to me to drive them everywhere, even if it meant getting out into the cold night and picking them up from the station, where they refused to pay money for a cab when they could phone me up, get me out of bed and have me pick them up for free!

yes people can be calculated way, but this doesn't mean we should hurt/use others. yes there is a limit for everything .There are people who are selfish and self centered but does that mean others should get into trouble for us.

For years I watched someone use people; especially men.. This person would find a man; got what ever she wanted, and then once there was nothing left.. Throw them to the crub like they were a piece of trash.. This person still does it; uses people until they have nothing left, and loves to see her family in pain.. This was a prime example growing up what not to do.. In the end this person lives a very lonely life.. I do not feel sorry for this person; she did it herself... I do not use people; at least not intellically.. I use to do everything I could to help everyone.. This got me into much trouble.. I would over extent myself and have nothing left. I assumed others would help me in return.. Well I do not allow myself to get in so deep that I can not take care of my boys.. Its still hard for me to turn someone away that is in need.. I am still working on that.. I love helping someone.. I do not do it to recieve anything.. I love the feeling that I recieve when the I am able to do something to help another

ohh that's really sad, then what about the man , didn't he realize this? what was his reaction? a for every action there is a reaction on this universe,as they say. So sad to see people in such situations. yes, they are responsible for their fate, no body can help such person. Good to know that ,few people are still there who doesn't use people, for any purpose.

good day to you, what you have posted is really true. and to add up some more, perhaps, it is really best to give respect to others, in this way, we can easily realize that it is not proper to grow and succeed if we will gonna use other people to get it. it is ideal not to step on other's foot just to achieve what we want. thus, a sweet success is nicely achieve if we really work hard for it.

yes few have this belief , they wont achieve anything if they do bad to others.But some wont realize this. I think they dont have any fear bout their life and also God.

You are right we should learn how to use the money because I notice most of the persons are spend money for unnecessary things like in liquor, mobile, and most the things for show off.

People are human beings and they should be treated as such. No one should be used. That isn't the way life should be. There are many people who do that to get what they want but it is a bad way of life that will come back to bite them in the end one day. Money on the other hand can be used but only for the needs one has. Some people use money to get things too and it is worked in a way that is similar to using people. This is also a bad way to associate with others. Be yourself and do what you feel is right and proper. Don't let other influence your way of thinking and lifestyle. It is hard because everyone is difference and views things differently. Bottom line, be nice to everyone or don't associate with them if you don't care for their manner of life. Be yourself and be true to who you are.

i agree, good lines. yes each an everything which you said it true. we dont have any right to hurt others. It will definitely come back one day. Money can only give us the material things not good people . Good people cannot be bought with the money and similar with relations.

hi ,yes if we are weak or if people take us for granted they use us, do you think fault is in us for being used by them? why dont they realize it?

That is absolutely right. I think using people for their own good is really bad. Humans are not materials rather humans have hearts capable of being hurt. Truly, there are people who use people. It is kind of sad. I hope one day, these people will be corrected and realize they are wrong. God Bless

yes i like the line "Humans are not materials rather humans have hearts capable of being hurt." true, there is karma and people who did wrong always have to face the consequences, yes we can only hope for the good .

Sometimes it is necessary to use people in order to get money the question here is to what extent are we going to stretch the ethical boundaries of our actions. In short we have to live with ourselves ,with the decisions we have made in order to acquire what we have.

hmm, is it so? then we cannot maintain good relations i guess. maintaining ourselves in order to acquire what we want is good, but why to use others for that.

I can see how some people would use others just to achieve a certain goal. And I pity those being used. We could ask help from others but not to the extent of using the person for some person interest.

yes its extremely hurting when people realize they are being used and their belief on certain relations goes off.

Its really terrible stuff to be used by others and also use other people roughly.We should be aware about our circumstances.There will be many people who are always staying ready to take the advantages of your weak point.So,just try to be perfect,though it will be quite tough for us to be so.Don't make your life according to others idea.wishing all best of luck at last.

Absolutely , it is must to know how to use money and if not you have to suffer a lot in your life. Many examples in this world where you could have watched people who had been destroyed by not knowing how to use money

Life is precious and each of us plays an important role in others life. We people can do anything to them and it depends on you and your way but remember that it is your friend or your parents who loves you and who keeps faith on you and make sure that don't break those faith and love for simple reason.

yes, but many don't realize that, they can go up to any extent for their things/work to get done . they can hurt the people and even money is taken and not given back sometimes. They can even leave their friendship for money. many relations get spoiled because of money matters.

hi prashu!! :) I'd say you're right! Of course, its better to use money (especially if you have it :) ) instead of people. I mean, people have feelings and it would bring you bad karma if you would use people in order to get to the top. With money, its ok if you loose it but with people, no matter how much you reconcile to bring the people back to your life, it would just lead to rejection.
7 Nov 12
money and people. its long discussion.. but i you help other then it is easy to have the goal without money.
7 Nov 12
I agree, people tend to use people for their own benefits. We should learn to respect others lives as well,their integrity, possessions and principles. People are so engrossed with prosperity that they don't mind stepping down someones life.

yes we don't have any right to step down ones life, but people can go up o any extent to achieve their needs, instead we should learn how to use money and earn it.
