Change in Values

I am back again to share my thoughts on human values and change in them.

What I feel is values differ from person to person, but there are certain values which are associated to human and not with person. We humans using innovation created many things which can make our life easy and fast, is that 100% true? Today I just want to talk about a specific change which was invented many years back which now is the most important part of our lives, yes I am talking about money as in some piece of paper(s) and coins which we use to buy something and we get the same when we sell some object, this is what is known as trade in very simple words, I just want to are we using money just for trade? If someone will ask this to me then my answer will be no, today we no longer use money to trade items of our use, but we have started trading our lives as well with and for money. If I ask you, if I am ready to give you some good money can you kill someone for me? First question I will get from you will be how much will I give you and after a given value you will say yes, is money so important? Can I buy someone’s life with money? I guess no, then how can we think of killing someone just for money!! Well as of today I want to talk about a different aspect of money that is money replacing our relations as well? I don’t want to come to any conclusion at this point of that as I need your help for the same. As per my personal experience I have seen changing relation coz of money I can think of some very correct lines “Baapu Bada Na Bhayiya Sabasa Bada Rupiyaa” don’t want to heart anyone’s feeling but it is going as fact now days. People are ready to leave parents/ family/ loved ones just for money. After talking to many of my friends money is no longer just a requirement for us, it is a necessity. We humans are have changed our lifestyle and started acting as a machine which can just generate money and lost basic property coz of which we are known as humans that is emotions. I have come across people from all parts of globe and found no one is actually happy because of this change. I want a loud question are we doing anything to change this? Just a small comparison, from 50 years down the line (just moving to a generation up) percentage of parents living alone were 1-5%, if I compare it with today it is between 35-50%, again a questions for you people is this fare? I have heard people saying to parents you live there and I will give you money on a regular basis! In general family with 2-3 kids starts thinking on who will take care of parents as their parents approaching 60 (Retirement year), they will start dividing the responsibilities as they (parents) will be their responsibility. I have also come across parents going for job even after 60 just for money, is that correct? If you will ask them they will give you a sweet answer “We/I do it not for money but to invest time” a statement to hide their biggest fear, what will happen if child will ask them they can’t take care of them. I know I can’t stop this but through this I want to convey a small message that is please don’t do this. I strongly condemn use of money against emotions.


At the end just make this “Baapu Bada Na Bhayiya Sabasa Bada Rupiyaa” false and start in a direction where importance of money should be well defined in life.
