Do you think wealth and possessions make a person important? If not, what does?

I think that money takes up too large space in today's life. Those who can afford everything, is no longer satisfied. There is no delight, even with little satisfaction. Nothing you can buy for money, at least nothing major.

Of cause it depends on every person and how the person handles it. Wealth and possessions makes the life easier and open sure some door, but it never makes you really happy. It is easy to buy something but some things nobody can buy. I mean things like loyalty, friendship or real feelings for someone without second thoughts are priceless.

I know it is for everyone appeasing to know I have enough money to live my live that I want to live. However nobody should overrate the power of money, but on the other side is nothing for free.

  1. I agree. Money is not everything, but you can't live without money. We know we can't take possessions with us when we pass away, but it is something I can have on hand. At least something make me feel realistic...
    Good Job!

  2. well... according to economics, whenever you buy something, you have to give up another thing. Therefore, you cannot have whatever you want by your limited amount. If you were a billionaire, what will be will be ! I mean you would have the strongest power !!

  4. So most of you agree that the money thing is the delicate art of balance, but what is the question that Bettina was answering: Does money and wealth make a person important? In the world's system, yes it does, but if you have a world view that is different than most, you may not view people like Bill Gates as important or having a lot of influence.
