Money: means or goal?

Money as means

Money has always been a very popular topic during all centuries. But, what is it really? What does it mean in our life? How to get it? Is it really important for a real happiness?

All people answer these question in many ways. I won’t say any banal things right now. Money is very important indeed, and we can’t do anything without it. We can’t resist it’s power. And we definitely need it in big amounts to live better.

But is it really the way to happiness? This is already another question. And before answering we should ask ourselves: Is money a means or a goal? Do we need just money to be happy or by having money it is easier to achieve our other goals? This is the real question we should answer.

We live in a complicated and cruel world. And money plays an important role in our life. We are nobody without it. It’s sad, but it’s true.So, when answering the questions above, let’s assume that money is a goal. Then we do everything to achieve our goals. We work hard, we have everything: desire, patience, persistence etc. And finally we achieve this goal. But what then? Is it really the happiness?

Now, let’s assume another variant. We work, we are persistent, we have all necessary qualities, and we start to earn plenty of money. Then with the help of money we realize our dreams, we make our life more comfortable, we can easily build a nice future for our children. So, what is it? Yes, if to make the conclusion, money is always a means. We really need it, but we need it as a tool for building a better life.
