Money has been one major material thing that we all human endeavor to possess yet this same money they say is the route of all evil.
As a human on earth there is no one that will say he does not want to possess money, we can even say money is power, Money is power because he that has money can't be controlled. A rich person is always at the top chain of life and always at the position to give orders. A life without money is a miserable life. Yet, money is not happiness no matter how rich. Happiness is joy within from the inside out in which money can't buy.

There is this man in my previous residential area, this man is married with two kids. He is a hardworking man but yet there is nothing forth coming . He does different kinds of job just to get himself and family two square meal a day yet he kept on pushing not until he started borrowing money and could not pay back due to no real source of income. On the long run his wife left him and life became more miserable for him.

The illustration above shows that we need money to survive in this world we are, getting basic necessities of life is achieved through money without money we are like a snake that pass on a rock without a sign.
With money there are lots of things we can achieve
MONEY MERITS
1.With money one can travel, eat and do whatever he wishes at ease. There is this joy that comes when one can do his or her desired.

2.Money helps in pursuing and achieving dreams, there is never going to be a dream come true without money. Because there are some certain steps in achieving one dream and those steps are never achieved without pulling resources together.

3.Money place people in position to be of help to others, people with money can help lift up the less privileged.

There are more to the above listed but with this we could get insight of how important money is.

MONEY AND ITS DOWNSIDE.
Mismanagement of money can make money be the route of all evil.

Money can lead to obsession, being desperate to get money at all cost can lead to evil. In our present community we have young children and adult going extra miles just to get money and get themselves involve in money ritual etc

Money can make a man turn his relative against one another.

Money is powerful to the extent of turning fellow brother or sister into slave.
There are more to this, the moment money begin to control us then we have lost it all.

While going through @joechiappetta post Titled ART IS MONEY:10 TIPS & TRUTHS I came across this

Money has always been a game.

Of course money has always been a game of which the rich are king and queen while the less privileged are the prays for checkmate.
