When one says that money isn't everything, is that person being deceitful or just merely acting like a noble carefree person feeling content with life? Taking out of the picture the retired old men and women, which youngster these days does not give a deep thought on career? But first, let me list down several examples of activities in life that deal closely with money. No wait, practically almost everything we do and need in life requires money so to hell with it.

It is indeed arguable to think that some people tend to ignore the strong influence that money can have on the acts of human beings, be it for the good or the bad. There's even a saying that goes 'Money is the root of all evil'. I wonder who's the "genius" that came up with that saying. If it is so sinful to possess it, why are we even donating it to CHARITY?! If you walk up to any non-profit organizations that hold charity events regularly, I can bet that the most sought after form of donations is, undoubtedly m-o-n-e-y. So get this, charities are seeking the root of all EVIL. Somehow I have this gut feeling that a person who lost all of his assets through gambling came up with that saying. Or maybe not. Who am I kidding?

This post is merely to defy the people who bluntly think that money isn't everything. Okay then, physiological needs (food, shelter, clothes) aside, your college/university courses require big sum of money for the short few years. Even more so if you're planning to experience tertiary education overseas. When you're hanging out with your pals [insert time-wasting activity here], a considerable amount of money is also required. Not to mention the price of fuel that has increased by leaps and bounds over the recent years. What about buying the stuff that interests you? If your pockets were filled with, say, 5,000 dollars ringgit when you're browsing through some shops with high profile brands, don't tell me you will just walk away without even getting at least an item even though you're attracted to it. Why would you wanna lie to yourself? Then again, what are those nationwide mega sales for if it wasn't for sucking out that extra cash from you.

Then there's the harsh truth that most are unwilling to admit. The influence that money has on a long term relationship. Without money, how do you expect to shower your girl with gifts and flowers etc to make her happy? It is usually a guy's task to get the gifts unless the one (you) who is reading this is a lesbian. I wonder what it's like in a relationship of lesbos. *shudders*

Now picture this. A porche posh car made its way to the front porch of a fancy restaurant and a fat slob got out from the car. He hastily saunters to the right passenger's door while adjusting his pants from further down away from his santa-like belly. As the slob opens the door, a hot looking sexy momma steps out from the car and gleefully being escorted into the dining hall. Those who are on the lady's side would say that it is LOVE. Please la~ If I were to give a more loathsome description of that fat slob, l-o-v-e is definitely out of the picture here. This is not being materialistic here, this is being realistic. Of course I'm not disagreeing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder but for fark's sake we all know that the only thing that made the bespectacled hippo "charming" is the fat wallet behind his fat ass. Logical, no?

It's not like I'm posting this up to promote and spread materialism around. In recent years countless reality t.v shows have fluorished and captivated millions of audiences worldwide. And the sole purpose of such t.v shows is of course none other than winning 1 million [insert currency here] after completing the whole duration of embarassment, agony, pain and exposure (to the ugly side of human beings e.g. backstabbing). During the course of these competitions, you will get to witness the pride of the participating individuals being brutally battered and their dignity being questioned and tested. Some went to the extent of mocking each other and jeopardising friendships and other relationships when things go wrong. When asked by the host about what they would do if they win the cash, some say they're for education, loans and bills. For some it would be an opportunity to realise their dreams by travelling around the world. But before you get to your dreams, where are you going to get the dough? Gently rub the lamp to call out the genie and say to him "Show me the money"? Yeah, in your pathetic stinking dreams.

In another matter, would there even be some "bad seeds" among the police officers in the nation if they were given a better pay? There were things that I've read online that projected despicable impressions on the police force of M'sia. Wrongful treatment on its own local citizens is indeed the best cruel way to kill off one's spirit, let alone patriotism. Perhaps the world could become a better place if money were to fall from the sky, but that would be the day that someone like me pigs could fly.
