Some thoughts about money

by Askhat Kaybushev 22.12.2009

«Don’t follow this changeable world because one day it will follow you»
One Russian rock-group
 
            Some months ago everything was interesting to me, everything, except money. I was happy to get grant and parents’ money. It was enough. But everything has changed. Now I live in one of the largest megacities of the world. As material requirements for our family were brought up under the formula «I have everything that it is necessary to me, and that already is» any requirement from the world of things was not born in me earlier is necessary to me, than there was an exhaustive possibility it to satisfy. 
            But here I am in Moscow - one of the most expensive cities of the world. The capital amazed me with an improbable choice of entertainments: from tournament of chess players to Champions League, from fashionable night clubs to old films in English. Entertainments in my native city did not demand money, they were “low budget”. But now I have come to the world where money is very important. Sometimes it is necessary to pay even for air. 
            I have thought: «And what really is impossible to buy with money?»
            I do not say that money is a universal cruel, it is important to be able to be pleased. It is necessary to break stereotypes that money is thanks to what you can all!
            You will never buy real love; you will never buy true friends! And the main thing: you cannot buy health. Nobody says that it is necessary to live in the wood and to eat nature gifts, it is necessary to work, develop and be improved. While you are on the same level, you are friends, but if one becomes rich, the friendship will be forgotten. Now money is more important than dialogues about life till midnight. Certainly it happens not every time. It means that there are people who do not leave friendship for money.
            The young generation is ready to do everything to extract money for their entertainments. The most harmless is to pull out money from parents, but sometimes there are methods which contradict the law. And there are those who makes a fair play! This eternal battle between material and moral aspects of our life is actual from generation to generation. It is impossible to change something. It is necessary to understand importance of preservation of the moral and moral principles.
            One day this rat race will be finished. But the life will continue. What will it be filled with depends on each of us.
