"The April rain, the April rain,
Comes slanting down in fitful showers,
Then from the furrow shoots the grain,
And banks are fledged with nestling flowers;
And in grey shawl and woodland bowers
The cuckoo through the April rain
Calls once again."
Mathilde Blind, April Rain

Her questions are a bit odd I thought first, but then I have to admitt they are aloud to be questioned. I think the man was prepared of such questions, wasn´t he?
Today money is the most important thing in our life.people need to food, house, education and other things. Money is what that people can supply their requirements by it. There is an another thing I think money isn't enough for being happy and luck. @Lynne There are many people who are wealthy but aren't happy.
I don't think money is the most important thing in our lives @nel. It's a necessary evil, as we need money to buy food, pay the rent and so on. But I think it is a shame when it takes over and becomes the the dominating factor in a person's life.
I think money it's absolutely necessary, you need it for everything, may be it's not happiness but it help to make you happy. If money doesn't exist in this world another would be the story.

I think money is absolutely necessary; you need it for everything. Maybe it doesn't create happiness, but it helps to make you happy. If money didn't exist in this world it would be a different story.
Like you guys, I think that money is a useful tool. But @Pamelagr77, don't you think that lots of people just like to store it or show the world how much they have got?
Money makes the world go around The world go around The world go around Money makes the world go around It makes the world go 'round.
A mark, a yen, a buck, or a pound A buck or a pound A buck or a pound Is all that makes the world go around, That clinking clanking sound Can make the world go 'round.
I have mixed feelings about the "money". Some quotes also represent my feelings like;
The lack of money is the root of all evil.Mark Twain
Money has never made man happy, nor will it, there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.Benjamin Franklin
A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart.Jonathan Swift
In this materialistic life we cannot deny the importance of money but we should not forget ourselves or our values to earn it. After all the most compromising thing in this world is the "Money".:)
@Xeb I agree with you a lot of people only wants to have money because they're aspiring, others wants to help people, well, may be money is not absolutely neccesary, but helps a lot, all the people work for got money for eat, for buy things, for to live comfortably.
If we have another education I'd be agree with you @mheredge, we can always exchange things, but not all the people likes doing this, for example I like exchange things and ideas, but other people likes sell their ideas. I always think how would be the world if all of us share everything.

Xeb, I agree with you. A lot of people only want to have money because they're aspirational, others want to help people. Maybe money is not absolutely necessary, but it helps a lot. Everyone works to get money for food, to buy things, to live comfortably...
If we were educated differently I'd agree with you mheredge. We could always exchange things, but not everyone likes doing this, for example I like exchange things and ideas, but other people like to sell their ideas.
I always wonder what the world would be like if all of us shared everything.
@Lynne As we have already discussed on this forum, we need active listners around especially in our family to do catharsis and share our point of views. Then, we need to categorize our relationship to others. We consider media our best friend to share everything without distinguishing what and how much we need to share. Moreover, we need to filter out our conversation especially on social media where words usually camouflage our real feelings and create lots of misunderstanding and problems regarding our personal life.
Family setup and family norms also play a vital role in it.
I think money it's just a way to get things. Most of people has changed priorities in life, they are living to get more and more money and show the others what they can do or what they can buy or spend in luxurious items. I think we are in somehow lost in this world.
Monik life is becoming materialistic now that is why we are away from the quality of life. Many people now compromise on their values, principles, and qualities just because of money. You are right that we are lost in this world and we are losing our core values.
My point is about money it's really very important thing without it you can't take good education, house and especially treatment if you are sick.This is true we can't buy happiness and luck with money but you have lot of comfort with money.You can give to charity and help other people's .Everyone like beautiful house,car,luxuriant things and good food and you always need money.I saw lots of families life disturbs because of lack of money.You can't survive in this world without money otherwise children's and elders going to depressions.I think you can only take air free for breathing in this world but in some cases you should buy oxygen as well,so nothing free anything in this world for surviving you should have money.
With money you can buy a house but not a home. With money you can buy a clock but not time. With money you can buy a bed but not sleep. With money you can buy a book, but not knowledge. With money you can see a doctor, but not good health. With money you can buy a position but not respect. With money you can buy blood but not life.
Money is kind of key that opens most of the door like private school, hospital, buy property, etc. Without money you can not leave well. However if you have money, also you may not leave well beacuse of stingy people, enemies, mafia etc. So, I think people should have enough money to live but not more or less :smile:
