What's a material world !

The slave of money or the master of money? How can we distinguish and define them? Seem all of us are the slave of money nowadays, there is no master of money in our world. Who can live without money? Who don't need to work for money? How many hours a day you work to gain money? Everything is about MONEY MONEY MONEY, money rules our system, our world, even those so called "paradises" are for the rich, you can only get access into the "paradise" with load of money in your pocket. It does sound really pathetic and sad. Is there any thing we can do to get rid of this "system"? I don't really know...

The "Money System" exists for thousand years, that probably means most people "accept" it, I think only few things in our world are not FULLY ruled by money,

1) Friendship - I always doubt, everyone has a price, if someone give you enough money, I am sure you will defo do something against your friends. Only friends with no interest conflict are truly friends.

2) Health - Alright, seem not fully controlled by money, as even rich people will die one day. But money does help alot, if you don't believe, think of the 3rd world's death rate.

3) Family - Yes, applied to most cases, stick with your family... our best shelter always.

4) Happiness - even if you have a lot of money, you may not be happy, happiness is something so intangible and immeasurable, strange right? Alright, if you wanna say buying alcohol or drugs can make oneself happy, yes, that's the case, but that happiness is very TEMPORARY, that kind of happiness is just to be noticed, the REAL HAPPINESS is to be remembered.

5) Life - OK, rich people always have longer life, no doubt, but once you lay inside the coffin, even money can't wake you up, no matter what.

And so, what do you think? No matter you are millionaire or live under the bridge, do take some time to think about it seriously.

Personally, I never really had time for money, though I always craved it! As long as the money works for you rather than you working for money, you should be happy whether you are rich or poor. However, money will increase your standards but while you are up there, you should never let your standards slip. You've worked hard to be where you are at.

money is no doubt important, and from day to day, i have to maintain the balance in between, (money and my own life? i suppose), and not to let money drive myself around.

besides and afterall, i choose to live this kind of lifestyle, rather than, say, riding a horse and looking for a person who will exchange my yaks for his/her camels. :D
