When I watched the movie “Aap Ka Suroor,” and I saw Himesh’s boss telling him that money could do everything I was not surprised when he blackmailed Himesh after refusal to perform at the world tour where this unfaithful boss would get more money to satisfy him. Money has made people to do crazy things ranging from using fake weights to atrocities like murder, all in the search for more money. No wonder money is the root of all evil.

Money is not evil but is simply a medium of exchange. Extra caution should be taken while using money. Take for example, many people are eager for the month to end so that they get their salary and do you know what they do first? They rush to the super markets to spend it. Money has made us to be in debts because we use it carelessly.

It is just a paper or coins but when you get it you just desire to get more and more. Well as you hold it in your arms ask yourself a question what part does money play in my life?
