I study literature and Economics and see if there are elements that tie both integers or domains. Today we are obsessed with money, and we keep on hoarding mounting amounts of wealth, and our ambition grows, multiplies monumentally. We want to amass things beyond bounds.
Now we have seen the goings-on all over the world and the epicenter of all this is in the west in point of act. The west is sick today, for they feel empty, lost, and stranded as if there is nothing to hang on. Job losses, financial crises, estrangements, rootlessness, disintegration are like wildfire impinging across all geographical and political zones, and they are unchecked and unimpeded.
Money: it is lucratively embellished, and has the sheen that dazzles all whether you are a spiritualist or economist. You can not live untouched. You will have to yield to it. Money is not a value in itself but today even spirituality can not go far, without this filthy lucre, the root of all evils. But we need balance life with money, for if you are after it there is no end to it. Unfold desires, they multiply and fill with air and you can not come to a point whereat you will stop dreaming of it.
Success: It comes in a chain. Once you see a mountain and scale it another emerges gigantically, and it goes on happening endlessly. And there is no point of satisfaction at which you can rest. Hounding success we miss values. Success in terms of money, power, and recognition cannot be the sum and substance of all values. There are other values. Chasing a treasure chest you will cease to be and life evaporates.
Nirvana: We want it together with money and success. But they are not in concert. Nirvana is a stage whereat you will see no value in the ordinariness of things. You will rise above and outwit everything. You will live, work, and earn money and climb the rungs of success but you will outbid everything under the sun, and never recoil from doing something worthwhile.
Think once more and redefine your values in life. Money, success or Nirvana?
