Money has place a value on things. This is not the same as worth. Value here is market value. Worth goes beyond market value. I know, I am trying to philosophize money here. No harm trying eh? Besides, money is a philosophical issue. Almost everything now revolves around it. Crimes were committed for the love of it. It is a motivating factor for others to drive themselves like slaves to earn it. Relationships are ruined because of misconceptions and misunderstanding about its value. We suffer for lack of it. The list could go on. As they say, money makes the world go round.
In the pragmatic sense, our wants, desires, and needs are fulfilled by money (alright –NOT ALL, NOT EVERYTIME). In this sense, I am more concerned bout our day to day affairs. What do you do when emergencies come knocking your door and you are not prepared? When bills are overdue? When the credit card companies start sending demand letters? When the car broke down at a time that you really need it? You will be thinking about ‘saving face’ –I know –before you will attempt to run to our friends for help. The best practical recourse is payday loan or a short-term loan. Am I right? Money will always be an issue.
