Money: Good, Bad and something in between

2009-07-09T08:01:00.000-07:00

Sometime in my life I heard someone say "money makes the world go round", I knew what it meant but never really realized the reality of the statement until I got my own job and earn my own cash. I just find it fascinating and sometimes intrigued by the power of just a few coins to pieces of paper with a few numbers, letters and a couple of images.

Its nice to have money, its almost the number one necessity for any modern human alive today, not all but most. With it you can buy clothing to warm you up in rain or snow and buy food to fill one of natures most basic call, hunger. You can free yourself from crime, stay into power, find momentary happiness or be the reason of suffering for some.

We can never have enough of money, that I know, everytime we get something, another item would suddenly pop up and cash is spent once again, and in one way or another have a reason to spend, for what we need and sometimes for what we want. So my question would be, is it good or bad, My definite answer is something in between. Despite the evil it brings , money has also brought in something good and pleasant.

Money bridges economies, providing room for economic growth, money acts as a medium of trade, meaning you can buy what you want with only one item "Money" (no need to carry a goat to buy rice nowadays), and most specially money is good in the hands of a good person. But it also breeds envy and greed which in turn results to actions people sometimes regret.

I am not a very good spender, but what I do know is that I need money to survive, I may spend wisely or stupidly but regarless of how I spend it,it will only still be money and that what we really need is somtimes not found in coins or papers but in the simpliest of places, simpliest of actions, simpliest of thoughts and even in the people who are close to us.

Good food isnt always the most expensive

Who said good food needs to be expensive? Just recently my Girlfriend and I had were hungry and is on the scout for something to eat, we were looking for a place that serves great food, and were not looking for another fast food chain. We came across this particular restaurant somewhere in Manila, its called Sizzling and Grilling. Spending only for 380 bucks for the both of us was reasonable considering the good food and good service. The moral of our scouting, if you want to have good food, be ready with experimenting with unknown establishments. You dont need to spend a lot for good food, you just have to look and smell.
