Random Thought 136 - Money and Relationship


There are relationships that are too valuable to be equaled with certain monetary value.

In a world where money almost makes it go round, if you don’t have it means the world will never spin at your will.  It is a sad reality and it is almost factual.  Money attracts people and the way you manipulate your money may likewise be manipulating the people around you that longed for a little less of what you have.

But in every rule, there is always an exception.  This exception depends on how we draw the line between making money rule over our dealings and making money to strengthen our dealings.  Both ways involve risks.  It is a matter of taking that risk in order to find out ourselves how far we can go being a slave over our money or how willing are we to risk our fortune for a “trust” that is always elusive when money is involve.

I guess, one time or the other, we had our own share of being gullible over a friend who is in dire need of money but only to find out that it is as good as a donation in advance for his funeral.  How many ties had been broken over this matter? 

There are also some instances when we can rightfully declare that our friendship is far more important than money.  And there are certain individuals whom we can share our fortune without having regrets afterwards because deep inside in our hearts, we know that helping a good and true friend has no preconditions whatsoever.
