Money over People
I stand for people over money; however, a popular choice these days is money over people.
The Beatles once said, “I don't care too much for money, for money can't buy me love." This quote stands as a witness to the unimportance of money. As well as love, money cannot buy happiness. Sometimes I hear that people in poverty are happier than people who live in mansions, and sometimes I see it. I believe it. In addition to this, people who have money spend it on unimportant items and do not donate to charity. The smallest gestures in the world can help anyone and change anything.
Many people would rather have a job they hate that pays more than have a job they love that doesn’t pay as much. They claim that this makes them happy, when really some people spend their days in misery and cannot wait to go home. Personally, I would rather do something I love and make less, than do something I hate and make more. Also, when people who make a lot of money are compared to people who live in shacks, it is disgusting because of the separation of wealth and the continuous inequality. Here we are as a rich society with few people who even care about less fortunate people in the world.
People claim money can provide happiness in life with new technology, goods, and other luxuries. Ultimately, this money is used for things that are less than important. Not that all people need to contribute to charities, but people are more important than objects. I believe people in poverty deserve more than they have, which is why, as a society, we should help.
