Richest Country, Saddest Country - WSJ article

MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING IN LIFE.
Wealth is: when you can live ‘with nothing’.

looking at people who lose their homes, their loved ones and their lands, is what is humbling.

even when al luxury & technological or infrastructural comforts are at peoples’ disposal, they could have terribly sad lives, lonely lives.

when so much of our lives are spent on finding and speaking about ways to preserve ourselves, even at the expense of others’ rights and needs… then why we have built the foundation of collective survival on selfish and blind material gains that we chase exasperatingly?

thoughts?

Imo money is just like a tool, some get more focused in obtaining money after all the more wealthy you are the more influence and power you get, what the above writer is saying that the more driven you are in the pursuit of money, you tend to sacrifice the other aspects of your personality, being withdrawn, you could also alienate freinds and pick up wrong type of freinds, money can also corrupt you, so in the end the only solution is to follow islam
