I know this is a literature forum; and all that we discuss must be somewhat related to literature. But this has a smell of economics and commerce in point of fact. But today all these disciplines are interrelated or to put it differently we study literature as something as a unified subject not a particularly disconnected discipline in essence. And we can come cross tinges of economics, politics and various philosophies in pieces of literature as a matter of fact. I want raise a question that is hunting me over years. The question is today’s societies value money more than anything and as such people build their dream houses on making more money. And the rest of other important things in life remain overshadowed by money.
Almost everything, the success of a writer, preacher, Guru, politicians also rest on money if not wholly but to a very great extent. Of course in developed countries there are political and academic careers, and people once they are economically on highs they choose to value other things in life but in developing countries it is money more than any other things people are accustomed to valuing.
And writers manufacture or shape public opinions and such seminal people must shoulder great accountabilities for changing or redefining public values. Of course people with great education, social and economic reformers, altruists, culturists, scientists, academicians must be valued. Writers thru their articles must cultivate public opinions.
In my society if one makes lots of wealth, can own private cars and build a skyscraper he or she is revered immeasurably. But if you cannot amass lots of wealth but a man of academy your reputation will be dimmed. Money outshines every other value in many societies. Why?
