World stands for
three things…. money, money and money.
As
they say, money is the dirtiest thing in this world but somehow, it’s the
ultimate dream and priority of all people nowadays.
Time
witnessed the continuous reigning of money in all places. Men are killing each
others because of it. It is also the roots of almost all crimes in the
community. No doubt, money administration is ruling us.
Almost
all can be bought by money, I myself, witnessed how powerful money is. During
my elementary days, my Mother always reminds me that we do not have enough
money so she always failed in giving what I want.
Sometimes,
I go to school without any money in my pocket. And there were times that I
couldn’t afford to buy school projects and join in school events and field
trips. And that made me disappointed. These things really brought big effects
on my grades. From that, I realized the great magic behind the dirtiest thing
in this world.
I
am just one of the millions of Filipino who endured the low points of life in
money. That’s why I thought to myself that I will do all I can just to become
rich and to enjoy the luxury of life, so that I can afford all the material
things that I never had before.
Until
one day, I heard from an old woman from our neighbor, shouting these words to
someone, “Pera lang yan, hindi mo na madadala yan pag nasa hukay ka na!” As I
heard that, I smiled and realized that she’s right.
Days
after, my classmate who is one of the richest in our class sent us the bad news
that his father died because of certain illness. Their wealth did not stop his
father from dying. From that moment, I came to realize that I may not be
blessed with money, but I am blessed with lots of things like my complete and
healthy family, my parents who always care, my friends, happiness, age,
knowledge and my time here on Earth.
I
would still choose to be the poorest person rather than losing any of these
priceless and most precious things I ever received.
Until
now, many people are still searching for happiness and they assume that money
is the answer for it. We should think again if we thought it really was.
Don’t
set money as your ultimate goal in life. Let us more and more insist of raising
funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace, rather than of money.
World
should stand for three things….you, your fellows and God.
I
can now shout out to the world that indeed, I’m very rich! But don’t expect me
to lend you money because I am prosperous in other precious things except money
because I’m penniless…
hmmmmmmm......
