"Financial crisis", the hot word of today. It is a word which has gripped all of us and our lives as well. A word which has changed our way of living, thinking and doing things. Every aspect of our life of which we were so sure, has been challenged by this one word or an event, as I may call it. It has hampered our dreams, broken our spirits.
A year back everything was so beautiful and our lives was full of optimism that the future was taken for granted. Everyone had bright hopes and dreams were built, only to be shattered by financial crisis.
How come all our lives became dependent, to such a large extent on non living thing rather than a living thing?????? How come we humans who are at the highest level of creation and the most advanced species become so vulnerable that we are unable to come up with solutions. Have we become puppets in the hands of things which just don’t have any physical existence? Have we made ourselves dependent on the things we created ourselves, so much so that these things dictate the way we should live our lives???????? The answers for all these questions are quite an easy one and we all are well aware of it.
Money was only an instrument which was created with the aim of making trade easier and in turn making our lives comfortable. Over the years we have placed so much value on the importance of owning money that, we forgot the very reason for its existence. Is it we who make money important and not the other way round. We have become so engulfed in being superior to each other (which the way all species behave) that we have placed money as an index to measure our superiority.
The only question that we need to ask is, “Is this really what makes us superior or is it a false identity that we have created for ourselves?”
The present is in front of us all. It is going to be our decisions and steps which we will take, that will govern our future. It is time that we place money at its right place, where it truly deserves to be in order to live a life of peace and harmony.
