Money’s impact on our social life

   Posted by Cecilia under: Attitude; Economy .

   Esteem is one of our most vital motivations for happiness and
   fulfillment in our life.  That’s why we’re capable of doing almost
   anything to get esteem.  The most obvious way to get esteem in western
   society is to accumulate a lot of money.

   Having more money means having more prestige and therefore more
   attention and esteem.  But wealthy people often experience that this
   kind of esteem isn’t long lasting.  It has to be earned each day anew –
   a never-ending fight for esteem.

   Chasing money for chasing esteem can make people forget that there are
   other important things in life such as taking care of the people around
   us.  Taking care of relationships requires self-consciousness and a
   healthy self-esteem.

   Putting our whole energy into making money and advancing a career while
   neglecting the social relationships may cause an unfillable hole
   when we lose money and/or a career.  We hear stories frequently of
   people who don’t have a social network of caring people around them
   when they encounter a life crisis.  Often these people don’t see a
   reason to continue to live.  The results are tragic.

   Money can have a negative impact on our social life when it’s the only
   means to getting esteem.

   In a society of esteem people get esteem for their talents and just for
   being here.  When all people get the same esteem there’s no reason to
   put energy into making money just to receive virtual esteem.  People
   are already acknowledged and therefore happy and balanced.  These are
   the people who have the time and interest to take care of their fellow
   men.
