The lust for money has pervaded most people until they become fascinated by wealth and  prosperity, and it becomes their main purpose . They seek it by all means. They become angry because of it, they are loyal to it. Many families have been broken for its sake, blood has been shed,  immoral acts have occurred, hatred has arisen, brothers are separated, fathers fighting with their sons, and friends turned enemies. 

Although everything is temporary in life, that nothing longs forever,  that we are ephemeral, we spend time chasing money along our lifetime. We forget that we have a biological clock that runs out through the flying years.


We may find ourselves with much money but  healthless, with less desires and few days to spend it or maybe never . We also waste time  working continuously , forgetting the family, children and all siblings. We just remember them in specific occasions or the time of their death. We then, end with remorse, because we didn't fill our relationships, neither enjoy time with them nor say goodbyes before they pass away.

Life is beautiful, but it's beauty lies in living it with our dears either in poverty or richness, it doesn't matter, what really matters is happiness felt with those we love and aspire for. Life doesn't need too much to be enjoyable.

 

However, we as humans, become greedy, we want everything. We keep accumulating money forgetting anything else, we really grow materialistic, and bestow materials more than feelings and kinships.

We ignore the fair value of existence, we no longer consider the precious blood ties. Everyone is living alone, in his own world that sometimes could be virtual , cut from the outside real world, away from both humans and nature.

Most people's focus becomes directed to the far future, the unknown one that whether we are going to reach or not. What a mess we live in, could we call this a life?!!!

We have tendance to complicate things, looking for the absent, blinding our eyes on the present. We run behind the unreached, while we possess the most important things between our hands. Eventually , we go on turning over and over an endless whirl.

We are pathetic, we don't understand the real meaning of life. We fell deep down in a dark well, because our mind doesn't think about what we are and the gems we got already , but rather about what we should gain more and quickly. 

Avidity is the human's biggest vice, we are, in fact, clueless about the quintessence of life . We lost the most pure values and virtues. We disregard the main targeted role decreed for us, we are overswelled in the unfinished labyrinth of money pursuit .

In this world, we do exist, yet, we are still far away from the notion of living, because there is a great difference between both. Living means enjoying life, sharing every moment with our loved ones, respecting humanity's essence, and sympathizing with others . While existing is having a way to survive and simply survive without tasting every detail and every moment of our life, pitiless and callous which becomes, unfortunately, the case of most humans nowadays.
