Money can shorten your life span. Is this a true or false? Because of its many problems and danger it can be truth. In the capitalistic society, most people believe that the money is able to guarantee our successful and happy life. However, everybody can never gain happiness and success through the medium of money or wealth. Some rich people can harm their health, can lose their family as well as friends because of money. Furthermore money can deprive their confidence and friendship. To spend money well is more important than to make money. If we spend money recklessly without certain criteria, we can spoil our life. If we want more happy life, we must use and make money more carefully. Consequently, money can never ensure happiness and success in human life because it can cause various problems such as health, family and social relationship problems.
First, the wealth can cause many health problems. Some rich people can have physical and mental health problems. Actually, to possess a lot of money can make people idle and cause psychological stress in their life. Some rich people exercise at a luxurious health club, have an expensive health insurance, and eat very good foods to keep their health while some rich people can spoil their health because they depend on assistants such as secretary, driver, housekeeper, and body guard for their convenience. Such bad life style will increasingly make them lazy and fat. Eventually, they will be exposed various diseases of adult people such as a heart disease, glycosuria, hyperpiesia. Also, although many rich people have a characteristic sincerity and responsibility to achieve their wealth, they can place risk such as mental and moral hazard. We can frequently see some failed wealthy people in our society because of their dissipation and luxury. Many rich people can indulge in excessive shopping. They possess a lot of cars useless and spend their money freely in everywhere. Such undesirable behaviors bring out and promote conflict between high and low socioeconomic statuses in our society. Moreover, they have a lot of stress to keep their wealth. It can also cause them a lot of anxieties. Some rich people have to possess many cashbox keys to keep their money. While the wealth can give us a certain satisfaction, it can create us a lot of physical and psychological health problems.
Next, the wealth can bring out family problems. The wealth can cause problems between husband and wife. Sometimes some rich people cheat on their spouses. After they have a lot of money, they are interested in sexual desire and vanity. They begin to seek younger and more attractive partner than their spouse to satisfy their merely sexual desire. Eventually, they lose their family as well as spouses. Also the wealth can bring out family conflicts especially conflicts between siblings about an inheritance succession. Most rich families’ siblings have experienced conflict about an inheritance succession. They may frequently rupture their family relationship because of their parents’ inheritance. Wealth is never a good thing for family members.
Finally, the wealth cause many social relationship problems. Some rich people lose trust from friends and acquaintances because of their money. The people who have a lot of money are asked financial requests from friends and acquaintances frequently. However, they can never receive their acquaintances’ requests because they are not a person of charity. In this process, many rich people are misunderstood as stingy by their friends and acquaintances. Eventually some rich people may lose their trust and friendship. Also many rich people can quit their job because of their wealth. Human is social animal. If some person quit his/her job, he/she may end social relationship. Finally the wealth may cut all social relationships.
Opponents claim that rich people can help other people. However, some rich people might exploit other people to save their wealth. In the capitalistic system, some capitalists and rich people exploit workers and harm other people to save their wealth directly or indirectly. Many company owners employ workers low wages to create their profits and capital. We can frequently see labor movement in the capitalistic society. Labors claim that they have a lot of difficulties about low wage and bad workplace conditions. Until now many middle Asian and South America countries keep child labor under the desperately bad workplace conditions. These bad labor conditions prove how labor condition is bad in the capitalistic society. Also, many rich people harm other people to increase their wealth. The land speculation is the best representative example of rich people’s selfishness. Some greedy rich people build enormous houses and apartments through their money. Most countries which keep high population density have a limited land. In this situation, some greedy rich people buy a lot of houses and apartments to make money. Eventually these land speculations deprive common people’ having housing opportunities.
In conclusion, most people believe that money is good, and to make a lot of money is a virtue in the capitalistic society. However, wealth never guarantees our happiness. Sometimes, wealth causes many physical and mental health problems because of rich people’s laziness and anxiety. Also wealth can also bring out family conflicts because of rich people’s vanity and desire. Finally, the wealth can spoil rich people’s social relationship because of money’s dangerousness. If we want to use money well, we must always consider about money’s risks. Generally money looks good. However, money has a lot of dangers and risks at the back of it. When we use money, we should deeply impress this point upon our mind. If we use money well, it is become a good medicine, on the other hand, if we abuse money, it is become a bad poison.
