Things beyond understanding....

There are always some things that are beyond my understanding.

Among those things there is one thing that i haven't understand yet is why people run behind the money? Why they just want to earn more and more and more. But the normal trend is to earn but not to spend, sometimes even for basic needs, let alone for helping others. Why is this so? If someone can live comfortably in whatever (s)he is earning even though (s)he remains unsatisfied in monetary terms, always hungry for more. Everyone is eager to earn more and more, not thinking about what is actual purpose for earning. When you ask someone why they are earning, the most common response that you will get is something like...

• Earning to provide easy and comfortable life for family.

But while doing this people don't think that doing this makes them too much busy that they even don't have time for their family.Wants to have comfortable life, but they don't realize that in process of earning a comfortable life they are making it much more uncomfortable. There is a very true saying, "People loose their health in earning the money, and later loose the money to earn the lost health." And in this process the life passed on.People earn for their family, but due to this they have got their life so busy that won’t able to take out sufficient time for their own family which creates distances within family. Like there is a very common forward message which is touchy also, in which a child asks his father how much he earn per hour and then somehow arrange money and give it to his father asking for one hour just for himself.

In the process most of us lost our social life, if you ask someone who is working since last few years that how many friends (s)he have out of work and club(if (s)he has joined any). In most of the cases (s)he will take quite some time to think about it and then realizes that there isn't any one who can be termed as a friend. Those who really were friends are now lost somewhere in this race of survival known as life, leaving behind only those whom (s)he regularly meet mostly at work places or clubs. When people knows that there wasn't anything they brought in the world, and they wont take anything then they go, so why take too much pain in earning so much moolah and making it a big issue. Why dont they just make a line of a famous song as mantra of life "Khali haath aaye the hum khali haath jaayenge, bas pyaar k do mithe bol gungunayenge"

In saying all this i am not saying that just earn and spend, rather earn and spend to meet your needs, its not desirable to live life king size. But its not like that also that live like a poor when you can live and provide comfortable life for your loved ones without extending yourself beyond certain limits.
