Money-talk
I still remember that one time favourite saying that goes, "Money is not everything; money can't buy happiness."
Whatever happens to money being superficial or bring only temporary happiness, personally, I think it is a different story now. Let's face it. I am sure every one of us has a subconcious level on how important money is in the world today, it's just most of us are tied to our moral and our conscience bound that is can be still quite difficulut to bring ourselves to admit most things that used to be impractical or used to be unwise. Otherwise, we're just in denial.
Talk about money only brings us superficial and temporary happiness, may I ask, don't human too, bring us just superficial and temporary happiness? 21st century or the post-modern world, whatever you wish to describe the world today, I don't see world as a welcoming and peaceful place anymore, I certainly don't see human as genuine and as promising anymore.
Money is everything in the 21st century, because human are not as reliable anymore. Human, to me, are even more superficial. They are capable of turning their backs on you or bite back on your ass when you least expect them to. Chuck away that shit comforting saying that naively goes, "They may be poor but they're a closely knitted family and at the end of the day they have each other and are happy.". That probably worked in the 80's or 90's, but untrue and impractical now. No one will be happy being looked down at, no one will be happy without having enough money for higher education or something along that line.
Money is happiness. When you're down, money is all you need for retail therapy, money is all you need to buy whatever that is capable of lifting your mood. If you come from a rich family, you go to uni, you lead a better life, you live in better house, you eat better food, you lead healthier life, you are exposed to more and better chances, thus, your probability of being happy is higher.
I know, it's just something so depressing to admit. Sad, but true.
