Money

If there is anything the current economic turmoil has thought one it is the need to appreciate money while you have it. This quote attributed to Woody Allen tells it all, "Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons."

Money is a necessity and that is why everybody should have it. It plays a very significant role in our lives as little can be achieved without it. With financial instability or lack comes life threatning difficulties that lead humans to the edge, thus money is good. Not the quantity but the availability, enough to offset your bills before they begin to pile up and if lots of it move your way, handle it positively.

There is nothing as depressing as looking for it when you need it most, when it is a matter of life and death and when you are tempted to go beyond the limit to lay your hands on it. At such times every dime matters and all you remember is when you took money for granted.

The global crisis has led to severe economic hardship for families who ordinarily were financially stable. To such families the argument that "money is not life" might be fallacious. In a new report by the United Nations International Labour Organization (ILO), issued on the World Day Against Child Labour, the crisis would likely expose more girls to child labour it states. It indicates that over 100 million girls are involved in child labour, with many exposed to its worst forms. Other reports have also shown the direct link of poverty with insecurity, domestic violence, sexual violence and other heinous crimes. For these group the inevitable need to survive overtakes morality.

While we are it, Americans are still shooting, and sometimes I wonder if Obama should not ask for stimulus package to provide Armour guard for every one on the streets of America. No thanks to their gun law, another family or families are grieving while some others are reaping selfish gains.It is not money that is corrupt, it is the mind.
