A Tool for Survival-

Money or Love ?

Manav Johar [ 9 CIE ]

Love , an intense feeling of affection , and money : paper bills and metal coins used as a medium of exchange . They are also , inarguably , the most powerful things in the world and are essential to survive on this changing planet suffused with breathtaking wonders but also chaos .

Both are extremely important , but in my perspective , without love , we are all soulless shells wandering the face of the Earth . Love provokes all the five senses . It could be a warm hug which engenders a sense of protection from loved ones or it could even be an album that an artist creates to display his affection through songs . The wide expanse of mediums of love stretches far beyond the horizon . Ranging from presents to even the smallest of things like notes , a little love goes a long way . Humanity , empathy , sympathy , passion , compassion — the most important emotions in the world , all of which are descendants of love .
Although the greatest inventions that humanity has ever seen were all possible due to considerable fundings as one of the factors , the actual fuel behind it was love . The inventor ’ s passion for his field and a drive to do good in the world . As the saying goes “ money can ’ t buy happiness ”, never have I ever come across a truer aphorism . Even if you own all the assets of the world , who ’ s going to be at your side through all the highs and lows ? Whose caring arms are you going to fall into if you ’ ve had a rough going ? Money can ’ t buy any of this .
I believe that love conquers all . No matter which tightrope you ’ re stuck on or which thread you ’ re hanging by , the support and affection of others will always be a glorious light at the end of the tunnel .
