Is money a friend or a foe? Is money really a dark demon we christened it to be or is it a victim of circumstances like many of us. I think money is neutral, it never denies contributing to the charity or crime in the same way. It's like water or the servant of the master. It follows the instructions and motive of the owner without being judgmental or being in denial. Money is never "black" or "white" it's not even grey, its everything in between. It's colorless and shapeless. It gets as powerful or as worthless as you would want it to be. Blaming money for all the misery is as bad as blaming the knife for the murder. Some say money can buy everything, and to some extent it does. If you have money you can buy happiness; yours as well as others. You can buy a smile, yours as well as of the others, it solely depends upon you. It can buy comfort. It can buy bombs and it can also buy bandages. It can also buy integrity and loyalties too. The most important quality of money is that it speaks the universal language without even uttering a single word.  Isn’t it totally amazing? When you find yourself in foreign lands amongst strangers, it’s the money that comes to our rescue. It entirely depends upon you what you want to buy with yours. I read somewhere “Money is a good slave but a bad master.” And it made me wonder, how a non living thing can be a master of a living, intelligent being like human. It’s like saying my car is a bad driver, or my computer is an intelligent teacher. It would be untrue because when the reins of something are totally under our control then how can it rule us? Strange enough we are mostly bitter about the money when people don’t have, once at the other side of the fence, the complaints about this deadly demon ruining the world become lesser and lesser. It is essential to understand that in the journey of life money is one of our many acquaintances and not our leader. Actually we should all learn a lesson or a few from it, to be it symbolizes, be the most extraordinary and still posses the power to turn the world upside down. Have no power of your own and yet rule the roost. On the other hand, it also shows us how to be the most loyal subordinate/ worker and never question the motive and intention of the person you are with. This the kind of employee that all of us dream of. Don’t we?
Let us give it a thought is money really a culprit or does the fault lies within us.
