Love and Money, Which is more relevant?

Never mind the place this topic has come up. It all goes to tell you how pertinent and how really worrisome and stealthily controversial the twin evil of love and money could be. Asking me which I woud prefer of the two? Well, before I tell you, do not hesitate for a moment in considering whether I have any religious affiliation because I have. But when I am asked such questions, even though I have it in my mind that love conquers everything, I tell you that I will ever prefer some money to love. Yeah. Seriously speaking and even if youwant to be really philosophical; give me some money and I get you anything whatsoever. I can buy me faith, love and happiness. Don't tell me of those others who had the dough but have never been comfortable. In a statement, they were either never wealthy or were not aware thy had some money. Money, not love conquers everything. This is because money can both make and buy love, love though it can buy money cannot make it. When I hear the reactions I will answer you and clear it up aight?

There is no alternative of love. Regarding money, it depends on how you take ? As a means or your goal? If you take money as means, then you prefer social welfare and love. On the otherhand if you think money is your goal, then nothing is greater than money for you. Money can give you all the things but not internal satisfaction.

WHENEVER Richard Cory went down town,
We people on the pavement looked at him:
He was a gentleman from sole to crown,
Clean favored, and imperially slim.
And he was always quietly arrayed, 5
And he was always human when he talked;
But still he fluttered pulses when he said,
"Good-morning," and he glittered when he walked.
And he was rich—yes, richer than a king,
And admirably schooled in every grace: 10
In fine, we thought that he was everything
To make us wish that we were in his place.
So on we worked, and waited for the light,
And went without the meat, and cursed the bread;
And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, 15
Went home and put a bullet through his head.
Money doesn't matter a bit. I know because I have it. If I had the choice, I would pick love over the money any day. Human happiness is highly relative, and it loses meaning if you have no one to share it with.

I think money is only one of the things one requires to keep oneself from being disatisfied or to satisfy some of the desires .
But love is a higher goal !
True Love and Happiness is what I personally believe that we all yearn for..
I think the aim should be to allow in our lives the proper space for both.
I dont agree with the idea that we should sacrifice anything and everything for love ....
I believe that true love somehow finds it way if you recognise its importance !

in my opinion, love is more relevant, rather more important?
coz, money is something that could be earned any time, less or more. but love is something once u loose, u loose for ever.
so avoid loosing a love, take care of all who loves u.

Wow, that poem is pretty... well, intriguing for one. It brings back memories of that very same moral I learned back around my 7th year of life...
Yeah, love always beats money. You can have alll the money in the world, but if you don't have so much as even a friend in life, you'll be pretty misterable. Even if I were to suddenly become rich, I'd stay in complete contact with my friends at any costs. I love them too much to let myself be torn from them because of something as simple as money.
As for relationships, love can last no matter how rich or poor someone is. The poorest person in the world can find love if he looked for it in the right place... It'd prove a great test of his patience, but it would still be very possible.

Love is something that we all have and it comes from within..It is with us forever..Therefore.. I would say that love is so much more relevant than money..It's just unfortunate that we need money to survive..Or do we?

Poor people want money.
Rich people want love.
Money is just something you need to be able to live. Love is a goal in life.

It is just a generalisation, and rich is ofcourse a very relative word.
People in the first world are always busy and are looking for ways to distress them self and find real love.
People in the third world have a much more relaxed lifestyle and are always looking for ways to raise to welfare.

Lovely Lolly walked down the ally
Her sweetheart at her right arm
And her lovely poodle strapped to the left
they walked all day long
And they ever grew strong
Yet one day there came a knock at the door
It was the postman with a bill
There was the grocery and the shopping waiting
Now comes the water and elecrticity bill
They went down to the bank for the payment
At the counter they showered the cashier
And all who worked at the bank with smiles
And they gracefully smiled back
"Now your money miss" came the cashier
"Won't you consider my love and let it pay"
"Oh no" cried the smiling cashier
"Love is sweeter than honey,"
It is more relevant than money,"
Yet it cannot pay the bill."**
"the attorney is waiting outside."*
Thank you people for the thoughts, but I think you all misunderstood me in one way or the other. All your statements seem top have presumed one common thing: That I was talking of money without love. I was rather talking about money and love.
Now, would rather prefer to have a hundred friends and live from hand to mouth or rather, and have to sweat out some penny for every expenses. Or would like to have no friends so to say and then hae enough money. Yeah, it does not stop there; I think if I am in the second boat, I would use my money diligently and work at getting friends with it.
If you talk about those who have all the cash and despise others then I am not talking of them. I am talking of the Opras, the Bill Gates (at least to the extent that they are with the papers and still are able to show love and be shown love. Imagine Gates or Opra before they became million-dollar people. Did they have as many friends as they had then now? Certainly no. They used their money and helped out and made friends. That is what I meant when i said that money is over love.

Have you ever actually tried to buy a friend? It doesn't work. You can attract hangers-on and even fame with money alone, but you can't buy real emotional attachment. And you wonder how the Bill Gates-types feel? Lets just say the grocery man ain't gonna bother anybody in my family any time soon.

Love is more important than money. Money can not buy true love and it is a difficult task to define what true love means. But somewhat easier to define what love can not co-exsist with. When love is 'bought' can one truly say that it is love, nevertheless true love. Lust can be bought, power can be bought, fame can be bought. One of the few things that can not be bought, due to the nature of it, is love and that is what makes it so much more beautiful.

I think I am begining to loose ground on this topic. I have come in here to learn; yet, it seems no one has been able to see my point of view. Of course I will pick love anyday in preference to money.
