money makes the world go round
with recent events that have occurred very close to home, I've come to realise that everything can be solved with money. in some way or another. and I feel myself going down that spiral. so someone please save me. and quickly tell me something that cannot be solved no matter how much money you have in the world...
you might be thinking of the cliche. money can't buy health. yea rightttttt. with money, you don't have to stress so much and work so hard, so you won't be putting yourself at risk of many stress-related diseases. ok let's say you have money and choose to continue to work damn hard and you get a stress-related disease anyway. with the money, you can afford better treatments (a fact that singapore healthcare likes to shove in your face, with "subsidised" plastic-chair-ed waiting rooms right next to the "private patients" air-conditioned cushion-chair-ed waiting rooms), you can have the choice of taking a break from work and resting to recover, you can afford buying health supplements and natural foods and all those herbs and whatnot that are claimed to be beneficial to health, etc etc. so maybe the $$ doesn't exactly solve the problem and make the disease go away for sure, it sure does make it easier to recover or, in the case of terminal diseases, to go in peace, doesn't it?
and yes with natural disasters. no, money won't prevent it from coming. but money is exactly what you need to repair damages, and put your life back in order after the chaos right? so tell me who would find it harder to rebuild/repair a house (or just buy a new house la), repair a car (or just buy a new car la), repair damaged possessions (or just buy new ones): the poor man or the rich man?
and please don't tell me that love can't be bought with money. because in this real world, far from your idealistic story book fairytale imaginations, it freaking can be. in fact I'd like to think that majority of the love in the world is in fact bought with money. ok maybe not directly all the time. but beauty can buy love. that's definite. and money can buy beauty. so there you go!
money can't buy intelligence? well it sure can buy you tutors and books and stuff to help you!! and you know what, if you had money, you don't really need the brains anymore. you can go be like what, a body art artist and have no worries about your next meal.
so money money money. it's a rich man's world. money makes the world go round.
please just go on and tell me something money can't do.
