Money

Money can't buy you happiness, money makes the world go round, money is the root of all evil, and so the cliches roll on. Like most 'sayings' there is probably a basic element of truth in all if you care to look hard enough.

It is relatively easy to make money, all you need to do is find those who are weak, needy or just plain greedy (preferably a combination of all three) and then exploit them – but that is not my way.

Sometimes, I see a present for someone, perhaps something beautiful, which makes it expensive, such that I cannot afford to buy it right away. Then I think I must try harder, work smarter to earn the money so that I can buy it and offer it as a gift, even if there is no special occasion, other than I saw this and thought of you.

Am I rich, generous or a sucker, in fact I am none of those. But I do know what it is like to have nothing, so whatever little I have I would give unconditionally. The most generous people that I know are those who can least afford to give.
