Money is not everything but yeah, it makes everything a lot easier. This is my stand regarding money in one sentence. No matter how much one denies to accept money as one of the most vital things to live, at the end of the day he is also running after it, no way around it, we must chase it to survive whether we admit it or not.
From your writing, I got what you have tried to explain, some are crazy while chasing it, its bad. Why are we chasing money for? It is to live our life a little better, isn't it? So if we don't have the scope to live our live, breathe with satisfaction, then whats the benefit of secrificing the whole life behind this? nothing! We need oney but we should also take a little break to utilize that to ease our life, to make that worth of earning.
