Love or Money?

The world appears to be running crazy about money, regimes are being driven unethically in their own ways and people trying to emulate characters which they are not. Today, goals are set keeping in mind the profit & loss statements rather than realizing where our happiness lies. What everyone is deliberately neglecting is the fact that even success is worthless without happiness.

There is no amount in this world which could satisfy us more than a kiss from our loved one when we are feeling down and out. Money is something which will always win us competitors. On the contrary, love is something which will always bring us admirers. Money, no doubt, is one of the most important requisite of life but having it at the cost of love and/or happiness simply makes no sense.

I dream of a life where people around me can feel the positive vibes emanating from my body, I dream of a life where I can impart so much happiness to everyone around that my misery will be a matter of more concern to them than what it will be for me and I dream of a life where I can have friends who will ask "Why are you not smiling?" than the ones who wait for a tear to trickle down my cheek so that they can wipe it off.

We are slowly turning ourselves into the beasts who acknowledge only possession and categorizes everything in just two columns, i.e., one of success and the other one of failure. Efforts count for nothing if results are not met as per desire and on time and love counts for nothing if the other half declines our proposal. Can't we be content in the fact that we were able to spend some of the most beautiful and memorable moments with that person which we can cherish forever?

The questions are many but I don't think anyone is ready to address them and to introspect his/her own self, especially when even the most purest feeling, love, has been divided, as per convenience, into crush, infatuation and flirt.
