Does money count anything

Let us consider situations 600-700 years before today or even more early centuries when instead of democratic nations we had great kings and warriors who ruled over different states,what was the value of money then,don't you think words were more precious then money,in those Era men use to keep their words,may be their life was to be risked in keeping their words. At that time money matter was limited to merchants for buying and selling of such things which was not available in a certain state. If you looked around the area in those times where people use to live you would have found hard labour, honesty, loyality,brotherhood, sacrifice for nation and others, selfless love,and many other things which we can't find nowadays easily. In those times farmers didn't grow crops to earn money they grew crops so that their family and other families could eat and live happily. There was no money system then,there was asset system i.e. exchange of goods or materials or asset instead of some other goods. People use to enjoy their life,they lived in a better way then we are living and that also with a brotherhood relationship. Kings always used to think about betterment of their states and about their people so that no one dies hungry.

This century has totally reverse situations and money is our God. Can you think of anything without money in todays world? Are we really willing to work or do hard labour so that money does not matter for us. What if all the farmers of this world one day raise their hands in the matter of growing crops,what would matter then 'money' or 'food',obviously my friends food is necessary to keep a person alive and in working condition. Now the question is 'Shall Bill Gates be invited in the fields to grow crops in that situation'? Because money would not hold good for him,no cash system then. At that time people will buy assets in exchange of food.

Now the situation is if you see around your area,don't you see money everywhere, everyone is running behind money all are thinking of how to earn money,the things you see around can't be bought without money, you can't do a thing without money,for every material you need money,you need money to make your life luxurious,you need money to travel,you need money for a good house,you need money to buy food you need money to get a better education,you need money for communication you need money for better treatment you need money for everything. Does it mean money is everything? Why don't we change this money culture,people cheat others just for the sake of money,people lie people kill their near ones people get fraud and people die spending their whole life collecting money. Money is everything,don't you agree with this situation.

The language of money has changed,our leaders are running behind money,in India many scams have been unfolded in past few months,the leaders who are running our country are involved in those scams. Instead of running the country they are running behind money,many of them have a lot of money in foreign banks or in Indian banks while people in some places don't get even proper food and they have to live in slums.

Money has now become a symbol of status,the person who is having more money is great then those who are having less money. In old days the person with tallent,wit and arm power(yodhas) were mighter and great people,was that a matter of money then? Money has changed the whole scenario disintegrating every aspect of life,that's the value of money today.....!!
