Hello everyone in the wonderful hive family. I hope you are all doing well. Once again, I’m grateful to the hive learners’ family for their wonderful initiatives.
The hive learners’ community has again presented us with another amazing topic and I’m glad to be participating in it.
What is love?
Source
Love is one of the best feelings one can ever experience. When you love someone, you feel protected and secure when you're with the person. You share your feelings and your biggest fears. Love is a feeling of care and affection towards another person.
Can money buy love? In all truth and sincerity, I love money. My friends love money. Do you think if we aren’t making money on this blockchain, people will stay? Maybe some will stay, but a lot of people will surely leave. Nobody likes being poor. There’s no nobility in poverty. Money can get you a lot of things; big cars, mansions, private jets, your own private army, a cute dog, good health, so many things, just name it. But can money buy love?
Gone are those days when relationships survived thick and thin without money. Those days, money wasn’t an important factor in keeping a relationship. Partners loved each other, not because of what they had in their pockets, but because of their pure intentions.
In the world we are today, things are different. Very different. Let’s face reality. Imagine this; A boy was born into a family. They weren’t rich, but at least they could afford 3 meals daily. Three years later, his father got involved in a terrible accident and lost both his legs. His father lost his job due to the accident. Things became very hard for the family. The boy had to hawk and do so many menial jobs to pay his school fees. His mother also worked tirelessly from morning till night.
The boy made it through primary school. Things were not easy but he was determined. He made it into the university and graduated with a second-class upper. His country’s economy was very bad so he couldn’t get a job. After applying for different jobs, he finally decided to work as a teacher where he got paid 10 thousand nairas every month. He couldn’t get a house, so he stayed with his parents. At the end of the month, he divided his salary into two and gave half of it to his parents. He had only two pairs of suits which he interchanges randomly.
Now, do you think it would be easy for him to find love?
After about 2 years of struggling, he finally got a good job that paid very well. After three years, he rose to the post of a manager. He built a very big house, bought nice clothes and built a big house for his parents. He and his family’s lifestyle changed completely.
Comparing his life now and how it was when he was poor, what version of him do you think has a higher possibility of finding love? Don’t quote me wrong. I’m not saying he wouldn’t be able to find true love when he was poor. But trust me, it’d be hard. Very hard. There are a lot of people that don’t care about your money. They stay with you because they truly love you, not because of what you have in your bank account. But it is very rare to come by people with such a pure heart in the generation we are today.
Yes, I agree that love is not a commodity. Love is not cars, Rolexes, or expensive shoes. Money cannot buy love, but it can increase the chances of finding love. There’s another way to put this; money cannot buy true love, but it can buy fake love. Yes, I’m talking about the gold diggers. I’m sure some of us know about Nate Got Keys, a well-known YouTuber. He pranks people by exposing gold-diggers. He dresses up like a poor man and tries to talk to ladies (high-class) ladies. Eventually, they turn him down. But after a few minutes, he changes into something expensive and gets into his car (expensive car). Then when he tries talking to them, they accept him.
Let’s face reality, nobody wants to settle for less. Money makes life better and easier, and as humans, we tend to like it when we find ourselves in a better and easier situation; a healthy lifestyle and a comfortable lifestyle.
Ps: The example I cited above is fictitious. If you think it is related to you, someone you know, or someone on hive, it is probably your mind messing with you.

I love that part where you said
Money can fake love
That means if you love someone because of money it is fake
Love is more than that
Some people find love when you have nothing, although i know it's rare
I agree with you that some people find love when they have nothing. But as you've rightly said, it is rare. Very rare.
Thanks for stopping by.
Yea
Do have a lovely day
Many people will follow guys because of their money not knowing that nothing last forever.
Nice post
@otuyanancy yes. GOOD DIGGERS. Thanks for stopping by.
It is very true friend, money could only buy a false love. Genuine love is harder to find, especially when you have money. In other words, if you are poor, it will be difficult to find love, but it will be genuine. If you are rich, it will be easy to find love, but it will be false in most cases.
Yes. I'm glad you get my point. Thanks for stopping by and for your wonderful r comment.
Well... what will you say about so many families having lost jobs during pandemic... wife divorced husband or they stood together and strived to make it true...
It's true money is important... although YOU are important to some people too!!!
Love is a bond boy... why do need to go after someone after your money.
That being said.. I know that a decent house, salary and stuff counts to get married and settle down...
however eventually, love is security, connection... and you stive to face things together...
I like to narrate you this story its in a long do here it...
"we have to hold on to what we got, it does not matter if we make it or not, we have each other and there's all right for love... WE GIVE IT SHOT!!"
However, without money its hardly possible to live atall... everything is costly and that's why I really feel this world of humans is a hard world to live in... and I wish I did not exist...its so damn hard really. Anyway...nice post.
But again I say YOU are important too!! ... your talents, your charactor, your nature and so many other things and there will be people who will love you for what you are (and that can never be family!!) anyway!!
If not love, you can fnd companionship, friendship and things...it will go a long way... and also loving yourself is important, self belief and determination. Anyway!!
@mintymile I agree with you. Money is important, but PEOPLE are also important too. Very important. But the thing is; the world is really getting messed up every day. Money is taking over.
This is very correct, nobody wants to settle for less especially when you know there is a possibility of better out there. The problem arises when you try to convince yourself you are in love when you know you are not.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Thanks for stopping by and for your amazing feedback.
Great article.
@mypathtofire
Thanks so much, I saw your gift😊.
To me. I think money can buy love.. With the way things are going.. I feel money can buy love.
Not everyone would like to admit, you’re 50 right. Money can do a lot of things! But some people won't be moved by what you have in your pocket (those people are very rare). Hehe( it is complicated)
Thanks for stopping by.
Yeah..😂😂very complicated
