Money is the Root of all Evil

How much do you agree with this statement? For me, I swear by it. Everything in this world talks about money. Money makes the world goes around. Most of the crimes in the world are caused by this money shit. Little kids who become pickpockets at the age of 5, young girls in the 3rd world country sell their chasity at the tender age of 12, siblings who grew up together fight for the will of the deceased parents, traffickers who consume plastics of heroin into their stomach to avoid custom checks, and countless cases that broke up relationships, friendships and kinships.. Money KILL!

Who do you think gets the babes? Money plays a bigger factor than looks alone. Men with flashy cars usually score in the dating games nowadays. Take a look at the million-dollars soccer players... they are dating either the Hollywood actress or the Milan top runway models. Why do you think so many towkays are always surrounded by a pool of women when they are already balding and have a beer belly and a face full of oil? Why do you think Anna Nicole Smith marry a dying man aged 80+? Bullocks to the things she said about falling in love with the old man because he came to support her strip shows every night. Can he really give her the love she needs? Yes, her love for money perhaps. And erm... the sexual satisfaction? Imagine making love to an old man who barely can take off his own clothes? What, Viagra? Must as well make love a a tree branch!

As you grow older, you will realise that every topics you discuss have a thing to do with money. This is especially true when you attend a class gathering. First thing people ask is definitely "What are you doing now (reads: "How much are you earning now"?) Money can be a sensitive issue. Money is widely used as a comparison scale. Money can change a person. You may be your best friend's enemy one day if you are earning more than her and she is not happy about it because she feels she deserves more than you.

Is money the way you measure a person's worth? Our hospitals for example, why must they categorise into 'A', 'B' & 'C' wards? The 'A' wards have the best and probably most nutritious food, better medical attention and most likely the best doctors. Does it mean that those who are not so well-off do not deserve the same grade of medical care? So, does it mean that the poor are not worthy of living in this world?

The world is bias and this is a fact that we cannot deny nor try to change. The truth hurts. It's a sick world.
