Question

In today’s world many people seem to be hungry for money. Some of them even have lost their lives for it. Money does have a great effect on the poor, but if a person has a rich life, a lot more money doesn’t mean more happiness.

If money were everything, all millionaires(百万富翁)would have true love, real friendship, health and a long life. However, this is not always true.

Nothing else is more pleasant than the three words “I love you”, but can love be bought? I’m afraid not. Love means “give”, not “ take”. Health and a long life are precious(宝贵的)things for every person. Well, can health and a long life be bought with money? The answer is “No”. Of all the people who live longest in the world, few of them are millionaires. Real friendship can’t be bought, either.

In a word, where money is worshiped, money can cause brothers to quarrel, lovers to hate, strangers to fight and so on. No matter how much money you have, it is still not enough to make you a happy person if you have no one to laugh with and no one to cry for.
