10 things money can't buy...

In today’s day and age money is matter of grave importance; it’s almost money over everything else.
If you ask anyone what is a basic need to good life anybody and everybody will say money! We ponder whether there is anything which does not have a M.R.P. nowadays.
Money  is the most important aspect in any field today like for example a field of education etc.

Since the old barter system vanished. Exchange of goods with money has increased its value.
Parents want their children to be successful earn a lot of money because that is the need of the hour. Women want their husbands to earn more...potential grooms want their would be wives to earn more viceversa.if you want to educate your child from a good school, university; You need lots of money!
Money indeed has acquired a lot of importance over thousand years!
And yet people with riches are not always happy ones as compared to a person who has to work hard throughout the day to earn his bread.
Got us thinking if there is anything left as an exception to the rule ‘money can buy everything ‘Here is a list of things we think money can’t buy

  2. Money can't buy time for a person who is dying.
    thus if a person is dying due to some disease money cant buy him his health back.money can't be used to bring smile on someone's face. if it does thats momentary. there are many rich but unhappy people existing in the world.xyz is wealthy but not free than his wealth cannot buy him freedom which makes him/her happy.money does not give you satisfaction the way it is earned matters.money can be used to cure a disease but can't assure you good health.

  4. money can buy time for dying person in certain cases. Take a case where a person is gonna die due to kidney failure, he can get a new kidney if he has money. Person with terminal cancer can try to get few days extension to their life by chemotherapy and other medical procedures which too require money.
    Now consider another case where money is spent on educating a poor child, building shelter for homeless or starting a company which provides employment opportunities. These cases do bring long term happiness. Also these cases do bring satisfaction to the donor too. Now its upto the person with money to chose how he spends it and money cannot be blamed for the its misuse by rich.
    Please define your version of health. From my point of view health is absences of illness or diseases (not just diseases caused by microbes). there are many diseases for which we have no cure but research is going on to find it. This research needs money.Many programs show how brave and genius people found cure to disease on there own. What they don't show is how much money they had to put into it.

  5. "So you think that money is the root of all evil? Have you ever asked what is the root of money? Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men able to produce them. Money is the material shape of the principle that men who wish to deal with one another must deal by trade and give value for value. Money is not the tool of the moochers, who claim your product by tears, or of the looters, who take it from you by force. Money is made possible only by the men who produce. Is this what you consider evil?" -Francisco d'Aconia, Atlas Shrugged.

    Yes, money may not fullfill every wish of your, but it remains that proof that you have indeed put in your work and dedication to earn it. And what more could make you happy than to reap the rewards of your sweat and toil. It is not money which is corrupted but rather the people who try to procure it without earning it. It is after all the human motive which defiles it. And this my friends is true for almost anything. The next time you look for reasons to blame money, look at the yourself, look at the world around. It is the wielder, not the sword you need to go against. Money remains your sweet fruit, and it will all taste sweet, given you have labored for it. So, to sum up, does money buy you happiness, does it buy you respect? Yes it does, it is the materialistic reward to your toil. It signifies your dedication and your work. Your arguments remain futile, nothing can get a dead person back. And obviously money cannot buy you love. Nothing can. The question you need to ask yourself is that why should you expect it to?

  6. @ ///M3 and shehzaadzd-
    I would like to highlight last sentence written by shehzaadzd.
    " The question you need to ask yourself is that why should you expect it to?" Today's mentality (not everyone's)is very money oriented. And they do not even care to think about anything other than the 'MONEY' factor in every other thing. 12th pass person prefers money over field of his interest and decides to spend his life with it.Graduates look at the salary before the job profile. THIS is not correct according to us and hence this blog saying there are things that money can not buy. And its not the fault of money, its just the limitation which each and everything has.Also, money ain't root of evil, money oriented mentality is!
    Regarding the list,
    A gold jeweled queen is not satisfied locked in her palace. A parrot is not happy in golden cage. He needs freedom. Money can cure a disease but can not buy fitness! Money can buy the fame but not respect.
    Money is capable of buying many things, but it has its boundaries. For unbound experience, we need to seek for something beyond!
