M.O.E.


M.O.E.

It means Money Over Everything.

Why was money created?

Money was created so that individuals could buy goods or services. 

Money is the source for everything.

 

Money can buy you shoes, a house, a car, and anything else.

It is definitely helpful,

But it doesn't provide happiness.

What does it provide?

It provides greed, selfishness, and power.

 

To gain wealth,

One must do certain things that defy morals.

Once he/she gains wealth,

He/she wants more of it to show power

And selfish desires.

 

We are slaves to money.

Everyone wants to have more than what they conceive.

Money brings more problems

And yet, we are still addicted to it.

I would get rid of money.

 

Does money make you happy?

Sure I guess;

When I am spending money on food or other necessities.

I am truly happy when I spend time with family and friends.

Not when I am told to work for money.

 

Don't get me wrong.

I need money so that I can buy the necessary items.

But I don't need a whole lot of money to make me happy.

So M.O.E. all day, every day right?

No, money can't buy my happiness.

 

So what would I change?

I would change history by making sure money never existed.

Greed, selfishness, and power makes M.O.E. possible.

Don't be addicted to M.O.E.,

Get addicted to H.O.E.

Happiness Over Everything.
