Money- the only denomination left which measures the human being in this present world. It is a reality which drives this world. For every good, bad, right and wrong , the ulterior motive eventually is money. I had this sudden realization after seeing two movies that came out lately: Wall Street 2 and The social network. Both miles apart in their stories and ideas, but the idea beneath have been money. Wall street accurately portraying the lust and greed while social network may be not directly pointing to the fact but obviously the story revolve around the elements of greed. Is money that important to people now that they are ready to severe friendships and all the pure relationships? the answer isn’t an epiphany but a sad truth that indeed its in human nature to be in rat race. To have a niche in today’s society, one has to be rich. Fame hardly comes without fortune.
But is it in human nature to reach a level where they can quench their greed? I tried finding out answer to this by researching on several richest people in the world, and there is no definite answer. From Ambanis to Buffet, there is a stark difference. On one hand there are two richest brothers in the world with net worth of 60 billion dollars, still fighting with each other for more money. And there is Warren Buffet, worlds second richest person, who lives a humble life and has donated all two-third of his wealth for charity.
After reading and researching a little about whole money issue, the only thing I was able to conclude was that apart from glitz and glamour that money can bring. Money is also a true judge of people. Money brings out the persons inner self. The angel or cold hearted devil.
