Money <noun>
In economic terms, it is a current medium of exchange in the form of coins and banknotes; coins and banknotes collectively. Earlier, we had a barter system of exchanging goods with other people. There is no doubt that money has set a bar of rich and poor in society by the wealth people possess. There are the demarcations which have separated us. Money can buy anything. Wait, let me reframe it. Can money buy everything?
Whether a man or his soul. Anything? Be it a child or his childhood by luring him of giving money for the work and burning his childhood in the chimneys.

It should be noticed that the way we treat a rich man is a lot different than how we shout on a poor fellow. Just wear a Rolex/ Rado in your hand, expensive shoes and carry a smartphone, then watch how people will salute you like an army officer. It's satirical on our perspectives to treat them differently.
People respect money, so decide what you want. Money or respect?
The hold of money is temporary but the respect and honour your earn is pretty permanent. We can have access to the bank lockers where we keep our entire wealth safe but this can not reach people’s hearts.
Money can't buy happiness. You can buy the stuff which can make you happy with money. It's a bitter truth that you can't live your whole life surrounded by objects. You live in a society where you find your happiness in someone else's happiness.
