Money matters

I often wonder why people always worry for money. I mean, people who already have enough to live in good style need not need to worry so much about it right? But then everyone just keeps thinking about loss and profit in everything and I don’t like to do that. Not that I’m rich, its just that I’ve lived a different kind of life in my childhood and that helps me today, cos I feel I’m more mature in my thinking than most of the elders around who according to all are supposed to be wise! I’m not saying that I know everything, but just that people worry too much for money – and that’s not me for sure. More than worrying and being a miser, people should live generously and manage their finances, rather than eating the head of the fruit seller to lower the price by 2 Rs. By taking tension people also have the risk of ruining their blood-pressure levels and obviously that means medical expenses! So live life to enjoy and make the most of each day, I believe the youth today has got that attitude and the current generation will help us get over that “kanjoos” syndrome. I do agree that most people in India do not have all the resources to live lavishly and hence they can’t afford to live a life without worrying about money. But then if they do well in their work area, and are hard-working, loyal and dedicated then they will be successful soon and then they can live a life with much less worries. Also exposure to the outside world is very important, we need to know that this is an age of billionaires and we need not worry to save that 1 Re. We wont get there by nagging and wasting our energies in bargaining and ultimately buying cheap and sub-standard stuff. That’s the reason we don’t get good quality things here, people want cheap stuff, no one bothers for quality, so wake up people, look for the best amongst the rest. Having said all that, I think we all need to be grounded and humbly accept the fact that we were a nation troubled by the Britishers and these are the after-effects of the “ghulami” our ancestors were put into. So what we can do or rather what we should be doing is help others, and stay positive-minded and not worry about trivial matters too much, no fights in the house for money, no love lost amongst friends for the sake of money, just stay cool, calm and composed and ENJOY!
