Cancer of Society

 Life is like a stair, each step moving forward helping you to explore more about the world and to understand what really is the purpose of living a life, each step helps you to understand what life really is and with each step your point of view towards a certain thing changes.

A boy, 8 years of age, named Arslan, was enjoying his life without worrying about what will come next, and yeah a child of such age should enjoy life without thinking and getting worried about the future, so Arslan enjoyed his early 15 years of life enjoying but with time he realized that he had responsibility on his shoulders to look after his family as his father died when he was 12 years old but her mother somehow managed to feed him and his brother and sister who were all younger than him. With time as he grew older, he realized that he must have helped his mother to take care of his younger brother and sister. 

At the age of 15, when children of his age were working hard to complete their education and achieve their dreams, he had to work to earn money along with his studies, but continuing his studies along with doing a job was never an easy task but as difficult times makes you stronger, he too with time develop the ability to cope with whatever situation he faced in life and soon he got himself so busy in running behind making money that he forgot that he had a life to live too and to enjoy too.

He achieved his dreams due to his hard work at the age of just 28  but the question here arises at what cost? but he never looked back and kept on making money, he never thought of what he was sacrificing to achieve his dreams and as we know time flies, days into months and months into years passed away and he grew older and became 51 years old.

What a man should do? who achieved all his dreams and is 51 years old. Surely most of us will say that he must enjoy his life as we people work hard to enjoy life but Arslan on the other hand even after achieving everything kept on running behind things which were of no use for him at this age but he didn't have to wait that much longer to realize what he loses and at what cost.

One day while he was sitting in his office he received a call from his house and after hearing the voice on the other end he was shocked, he ran towards his car to reach home quickly, his mother whom he loved the most in his life, more than anything, left him forever and now he was wishing only for few moments to live with his mother but as wise people say there's no use to cry over spilt milk, he also wasted the time he had to enjoy and live with his mother.
He somehow get back to his routine but now he was like a puzzle, incomplete, as a piece of his life was missing and without which he was incomplete and that missing part was his mother, a gift which once lost can never be found again. He still even after losing his mother was making a mistake, he didn't change his attitude towards life, he had a wife and children to look after and spend the rest of his life with but he still after losing his mother, was busy making money and keeping himself busy.

But sometimes it only needs a moment to help a person realize what mistake he really was making, while on his way home, he saw an orphan boy sitting under a tree crying for his family, he went close to him to help him and at that moment he too realized how great is a blessing to have a family. He helped the boy and gave him money to eat food and after that, he drive back home to spend time with his loved ones.

On that day he realized he was suffering from cancer, he realized that not only he but each and every person struggling to live life is suffering from cancer and the cure to that cancer they all were suffering was money but the question here arises was how much money is needed to overcome cancer to prevent a person from running behind it?  How much money can satisfy a person and the answer was that cure for this cancer had not yet been discovered or created. Everyone is running behind money, the cancer of running behind money has taken many lives, has led many people to depression and had destroyed many families, cancer which divides humans into two categories, poor and rich,  1) people who are afraid of losing it and 2) people who don't have money and are worried and struggling to get it.


Only cancer people love is cancer of money, love for money, if you fall in love with money you will never be able to able to get rid of this cancer, cancer which removes emotions, feeling of a person, earning money is okay, to live the life you must earn money but addiction to money will lead you to a path where you will be left all alone with only money and no one to enjoy with.

The desire of getting money will never be fulfilled, so instead of fulfilling your desire to get money, live your life, and spend time with your loved ones because once they are gone, they will never be back again. Don't waste your life running behind a piece of paper, that piece of paper can help you get anything but not happiness, happiness lies in peace and peace lies where you don't have to worry about anything, so stop worrying about making money, you will have peace and surely will be happy.
 
Money can be defined in term of economics as unlimited wants with limited resources, where unlimited want is your desire to get money which will never be fulfilled and limited resources is your family and friends with whom you can enjoy your life by spending money. Happiness is not measured in term making of money, in fact, it is measured in terms of how we utilize that money.

So do not get addicted to money as it is cancer which will only lead you to depression, make money but not let money decide what are the standards of happiness.
