Peoples say money is a symbol of power. But for me money is a symbol of lie and stupid. Money is not really a power. Those who takes money as power is actually controlled by money. in other words, money will say, "people is power to me". They use us to do many things including corruption and destruction. World has proven that because of money we kill each other and sell our pride as human beings. Money has control us from invest them towards right ways. They make us greedy and anxious. I'm not trying to say that I totally deny the importance of money in our life. But it is about how we put money into ourselves. If we put it in our mind, in our heart, they cannot move out from ourselves (think that our body is a close compartment) and surely they'll control us from inside. But if you put them just on our hands, outside from our body, we'll easily control them as they are in our hands which can touch and shape them. We can throw it away so that they cannot control us if they are trying to control us.
If we say money is power, we as the owner for the money should be able to control them. The king (we) should give the order to his army (power or may consider as money) to protect the country and attack the enemies. But nowadays the army has order the king to protect the country and attack the enemies. Unfortunately the army may give us the wrong order as the thinking of army is not the same as the thinking of the king. Does not the king is so stupid to be ruled by his army? now the king is the power to his army.

Assalamualaykum.
ReplyDeleteWell, personally, I don't think that money is qualified enough to be the army as what you've mentioned it above that it can caused destruction. As long as people know how to use it in a good way, then there is nothing to worried about.
But do you think we do have that kind of people?. I mean, even ourselves?.
Human and money shall asked for an atonement to avoid any destruction in this world.
That's require a night for us to introspect back.
The stupidity of the king is not because he have been ruled by the army, but rather the team-work or cooperation are likely more appropriate to achieve victory.
