Although it may sound a bit "preachy," I really feel that society has become somewhat pathological. Money seems to have become the only standard by which people are measured, and everyone is desperately chasing wealth, as if without money, you have no value. Meanwhile, the things that should be most cherished—character, sincerity, effort—are being pushed to the sidelines. People are so focused on counting their money that they forget what truly matters: how they live and the kind of person they become.
Don't forget, money is just a bonus that comes after the realization of self-worth.
I agree with you. I have been thinking so much about this. Our values as a society is now ties to money. People have forgotten how to be kind, honest, courteous, respectful, humane and others. The craze for money is what is going to destroy the very fabric that holds society to together. And this isn't even about religion or political ideologies, it is mammon. The society has made many people to feel less human if they have no money. And now, as a man in the society, your value, sense of self-worth, self-esteem is tied to money which is why most men feel, to get a girl, they need money. Money is like the very thing a lot of men bring to the table, when you remove money, the table shatters. Do I judge them, no. I too am a man and I know there is an innate desire in us to be providers but tieing your very existence to money is what I am not in support of.
