Money is like the Air

I heard a story from a rich man and that was about how he looked at his life. He symbolized money to the air. He said that actually the amount of money one can use is like the amount of air that one is able to breath in, which makes sense because we will not be able to breath in more air even though there is more air available.

This is what coherent to my current philosophy of life. For very long time, I knew the importance of money because it is like the air, we cant live without it. Until recently I started to realize that how you spend your money is actually more important than counting how much you have. I like to share the happiness that can be generated from money with my friends or with the people around me. For example by inviting friends for a meal or something. That creates the opportunity for you to get along with them, share information and to communicate. Every relationship requires opportunity to be nourished and money can provide the opportunity.

This reminds me of the saying 'give and take'. To offer and to give what I can to my love one, my family and friends are what I feel like doing now because I like the taste of joy from giving and I believe that I will be able to gain what is far more valuable, such as friendship and harmony. If there wasn't anybody giving and I wouldn't be what I am today, so there is enough of taking from others and it is time for contribution.

Hello there, let's start to practice generosity. I assure you that you will gain alot more than being self-centered.
