'Money makes the mare go', says a proverb. The commercial application of money has revolutionized new concepts in everyday lives of people. Money, as the dictionary puts it, is a form of currency. However, it has acquired new definitions in recent times.

Money was invented to be used in universal transaction. It was a good substitution to the barter system. However, the overzealous importance attached to this lavish leaf has given rise to many loopholes. The possession of money acts as an axle of the world's richest and affluent identity. The dearth of it results in misery. The world is hence divided brutally under this yard stick. Money has torn over moral fabric into smithereens owing to its supreme reign.

The contemporary vices of poverty, unemployment etc. are all its byproducts. One cannot tell how money acquired a summit into man's existence. The surreal implication of materiality possession has inevitably found its way into relations too. This intruder travels apace. When a relation is infected by this parasite, it corrodes the entire nervous system of affected ones. The moral values, the cultural inputs all melt at the joke of this dictation. Once, a person is zapped by this, patient succumbs to it till the very end. Money renders the parables of conscience shapeless. And in spite of getting rid of this habit one unknowingly pampers the taste of this greed. The acquisition of money gives such an irresistible feeling of power to the person that everything in the world seems cost effective to him. The very source of convenience becomes vitality for him. This leads to loss happiness has somehow, becomes synonymous with money.

Money is a good servant, but a bad master. Money does import convenience and comfort but it cannot enrich one from within. That requires a lot of contemplative disciplines inculcated in us. Money does not form the fulcrum of our lives. It's merely a means of survival. The idiosyncrasy of materialistic wellbeing has to be redefined to suit the comprehensive temperament of the nascent mind. One has to understand the paramount importance of values like honesty, diligence and love in order to revive the world from this money mania.

Today, education has been subordinated to its purpose. The academic excellence bears a simultaneous equation with this money. This monotheism can be nipped in the bud at home. One has to give a conscientious prelude to money's monologue. The money motif constitutes the ambition scenario of every aspiring youth. One should learn and implement the mandatory use of money. One has to cleanse the corrupted collars of the society which arrogates due to money.

To, sum up, money has been made the culprit by man. If a man chooses to be immune to the stings of his conscience, money can just be an excuse for his downfall. So, if man is not careful, money can be the cause of all evils.
