Is Money Everything?

Is money everything? It is most diffidently not. Although, this does not mean that having it is a bad thing. I’ve grown up knowing people who had a lot of money and those who didn’t, and I’ve found that people from each category have just as many faults. It is true that people sometimes do amass their furtunes at the expence of others. Paying the people that work for them amounts that are unfairly small. They will sometimes do things that are wrong simply for the money. I’ve learned to not judge people by what they have, because in the long run the tangible things don’t matter. It is a person’s actions that make them. Therefore anyone working below them that works honestly should be paid honestly. If money helps a person get what they want out of life, then they should go after it. As stated in the United States Declaration of Independence, people have the right to the pursuit of happiness. People should pursue what makes them happy, whether it involves money or not. As long as they don’t do it in an immoral way than they should be congratulated for getting what they want.

Very insightful and meaningful blog Jim. I think you have a good understanding of what makes you happy, which is a great thing as many people go throughout not knowing this. However, you need to include the other questions posed in this blog assignment. You can also make up this points you missed. Good job.
