one word topic (MONEY)

Money cannot buy anything and everything. Money cannot buy you happiness, money cannot take away your loneliness, money cannot take away your fears and sorrow. we live in an era where nothing comes free. Whatever we do requires money. From simple tasks like buying basic necessities to buying a house. Money is very important in our life and we cannot live without it. Its like humans are the tree and money is the leaf. Without any of them, none will survive. It is bleak reality that everyone wants more money for themselves.

The notion that the world is basking in nefariousness is too extreme, but we must resign to the fact that it is inevitable for man to be susceptible to money allurement. Many yearn to satisfy their whims and fancies. Whenever people hear that there is free stuffs, no doubt human first reaction is to ask where is it and to go there immediately. Impressionable people often fall prey to the lure of money. Imagine one day when you received a phone call telling you that you have just won $50000 in a lucky draw. Exhilaration will then bubble up inside you and you will be filled with exuberant and jubilation. when they say that you just need to make a small deposit of $1000, you will be too happy enjoying this glorious moment that you will just accept. This is when you u got scammed. To get what they want, people will conceal their wrongdoings with a concoction of lies and deceit to escape the blame.

Here is an example. My friend like all of us teenagers spent alot and money to us is vital for our daily life. when one person wants money desperately, he or she will resort in any method to get their hands on them. Be it in secrecy or by force. In schools nowadays, theft is quite rare but low crime doesn't mean no crime. My friend was a very wile and vain person who only wanted the best. He was not rich and i was wondering how he had the ability to but those exquisite goods which is not cheap. Then one day, i saw him during his "routine check" he was in a sec1 class searching in people's bags. In his hands were two handphones and 3 wallets.

Reality hit me like a slap on my face as the action in front of me rendered me speechless and severely traumatised me. Many thoughts swarm past my mind. the good side of me told me report but the bad side of me told me not to betray my friend. I was in a dilemma. i decided to give him one more chance hoping that he will turn over a new leaf but he did not. He was later apprehended and caned.

Its human nature to be greedy but we must learn to control ourselves. statistics have shown that crimes involving money is rapidly increasing and felonies like robbery, blackmailing and kidnap is all because the person wants more money. people nowadays are also more vulnerable to phone scams. People believe others too easily and that we usually do not think that far thus It is easy for those people to get your money. Greed will make people go mad and it breeds mistrust among people as people for money may even betray their love ones.

Overall i think that although money is important it can cause many detrimental effects and i believe that "Money is the root of all evil"
