About Money

With money you can buy a house, but not a home.

With money you can buy a clock, but not time.

With money you can buy a bed, but not sleep.

With money you can buy a book, but not knowledge.

With money you can buy a doctor, but not health.

With money you can buy a position, but not respect.

With money you can buy blood, but not life.

With money you can buy pleasure, but not happiness.

With money you can buy an acquittal, but not forgiveness.

With money you can buy sex, but not love.

    but at least, 'you can'.
    Worse than that is having neither respect nor a position, neither sleep nor a bed, neither love nor sex :D

      Yes, that's true, but we have to think about what's more important: a home or a house, time or a clock, health or a doctor, etc... And the important thing is to focus on what's more important.

        Thinking is the easy part. But many people simply don't know *how* to attain a life full of love, happiness, knowledge, forgiveness, etc.

    Maybe this helps > http://www.verdant.net/families.htm

    Out of personal expirience I can tell, that the less money I have, the better I feel. I strive to be poor, not miserable, but poor. I learn alot on my way to become what I want to be and it feels good. To be rich, earn much money or own much things just doesn't feel good anymore in a world like this > http://digitaljournalist.org/issue0111/seven42.htm

    I like your post, Raphael.

    I like this post of yours. Everything thats written up is absolutely true about money. Most people out there think with money they can gain respect, happiness and everything else. In fact, those people whom has alot of money end up in problems too and they dont live in happiness. They think money is everything but truly i say money is just a material thing. You wont be able to bring it along when you leave this world.
