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.

Asides this virtues of being kind, honest and sincere of heart in relating with others, I don't much blame people for what they have turned into in today's world, it's the society that have carved everyone to think in that money direction because generally there's nothing you want to do or access that you won't have to do that without using money. Just imagine falling sick to an ailment that requires intensive health care...

I believe we both know what will happen in the absence of money. These and many akin situations are what people fear and put into consideration in today's society motivating their plunge towards money before anything else.

I had to accept that this is the phase society has evolved to and i can't be conservative about it by pretending to live in the ways of yesteryears. Maybe for people like us we can strike a balance by continually maintaining those values while we chase after the bag which all things are now tied to today.
