The movie Indecent
Proposal brings out the point rather clearly. One act of adultery was worth a
quick million dollars. People want to be an overnight success at the cost of
their conscience and it still doesn't work. Because true values are priceless.
The moment a price is set on values, the values lose their value. No possible
gain can make up for that loss.
It is good to have money and the things it can
buy, but in the process of acquiring money, we don't want to lose the things
that money can't buy. Money can only buy what money can buy. And in fact, the
most precious things are those that money just can't buy.
WHAT MONEY WON'T BUY
The most precious things in life money just can't buy. It is not uncommon to
hear that everyone has a price. People who talk that language are really up for
sale themselves. People with character, integrity and the right values are not
for sale. Money will buy:
- Amusements but not happiness.
- A bed but not sleep.
- Books but not wisdom.
- A clock but not more time.
- Companions but not friends.
- Finery but not beauty.
- Food but not appetite.
- A house but not a home.
- Medicine but not health.
- A ring but not a marriage.
