Money is indispensable to make life’s machine runs smoothly. People who lack money are often deprived of even the basic necessities of life. But it must also be clearly understood that though important, money cannot be all and end all life. There are several things, like peace of mind, happiness and love, which are extremely important in our life but which cannot be bought with money.

A man inherited a palatial bungalow, big feet of luxury cars and a thriving business. He believed he was placed in such a situation where he could command anything in life. Hundreds of people flocked to him everyday and fleeced him of some money, the loss of a little did not pinch him. And, unfortunately, he remained blind to the real motive of those peoples friendship and prided himself on his large following.

One day, bored with the inactive life he was leading, he invited some friends to his house. All of them pretended to be busy. They said they could not come because they had a previous engagement. Next day, he renewed the invitation but none of them responded positively. Feeling desperate, he took his chauffer to big five star hotel and spent over ten thousand rupees in futile bid to ‘buy’ happiness. He returned home in the evening, utterly disgusted with life. It was that he realized that one could not buy everything with money.
