Steemit Engagement Challenge / SEC-S19 / W3 | "Money or Peace?"
I hope you all are fully enjoying the joys of life.
Money or Peace is a topic that, if delved into deeply, might make this post so lengthy that readers ( With Opologies,especially those like me who are busy trying to earn money) would get tired of reading it. Therefore, I will limit my article to only answering the questions included in the Contest post..
Are we all sacrificing peace to make money?
I completely agree with this, because currently, there are two things in the world that have disrupted peace everywhere (Money and Power). And if I'm being honest, everyone wants to consider themselves a step above others. Looking around, it seems that no one values human life anymore. Only money has value. We have increased our worldly needs to such an extent. And we consider those needs to be the means to attain comfort. And to fulfill those needs, we are always busy earning money.
And some people go to any extent to earn money. They don't care about what's lawful or unlawful. I included the word 'Power' in my article because it's not just about dominating others. Rather, it also means gaining control over the resources available within a country's boundaries. In this sense, it also reflects the desire for money. In families, the main reason for disputes in relationships is often just money.
Which is wiser to spend and earn or to spend after earning and saving?
The basic needs of a human being are only three: food to eat, clothes to wear, and a home to live in. And if a person can earn these necessities through their hard work, they should be patient and grateful. Desiring more than that is considered greed. And whatever a person earns in this world, it's not really their own; it's a gift from God. Therefore, hoarding or accumulating wealth also reflects weakness of faith. As a Muslim, I firmly believe that each person will be answerable in the afterlife for every blessing they received from Allah, and also for every penny they earned, the means by which they earned it, and how they utilized it, in addition to their actions and deeds.
Let me give you a small example: birds leave their nests early in the morning with empty stomachs to search for food. But when they return in the evening, their bellies are full. These Birds also bring food to their young ones in their beaks until they are able to fly and search for food on their own. This means that the Creator of the universe, who can provide food for birds, has surely made arrangements for the sustenance of all His creatures. Humans should focus on finding positive means to earn their livelihood and make efforts. Whatever is destined for a person, they will surely receive. Desiring more than that is considered greed.
Apart from money, what brings you peace and happiness?
As a father, my greatest joy and peace come from seeing my family and children happy. There's no better feeling than witnessing a smile on their faces. And when I'm able to provide for their basic needs on time, I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude to God and a deep-seated peace and lightness within myself.
Thank you for reading my perspective about Peace Or Money. Please feel free to express your thoughts in the comment section;. Until next time, Goodbye!
I would have preferred to read the ‘unbearably long’ post, to be quite honest... Maybe you'll hand it in later ;-))
Truth is always bitter and unbearable. And the biggest truth is that the world, in the name of progress, is actually on the brink of destruction. Instead of correcting our actions, we are busy chasing the luxuries of the world.
I will definitely write about this in detail soon.
Looking forward!
Hello dear @rashid001!
You make a really good point when you say that desiring above basics is greed. It is important to maintain balance and kindness. How do you maintain a strong faith during difficult times?
Thanks for reading my post and sharing your insightful thoughts.
To strengthen my faith in my difficult times, I look at those who are going through even more difficult circumstances than me and find patience. Then, I express gratitude to ALLAH (S.W.T) and submit my requests ( Pray) to Him.
Indeed, ALLAH is the one who creates means and solutions.
Wao you have a great thinking. Only Allah can solve our problems. So its best way to get peace having strong believe on Allah
Hola amigo el dinero significa mucho para las personas y es necesario para vivir pero querer tener mucho es avaricia tal y como dices, tener poder es un refugio ante la inseguridad de muchos y el dinero es a veces poder para mover recursos, también concuerdo con el hecho de que acumular riquezas sin ningún sentido es contraproducente ya que en cualquier momento nos podemos ir y las riquezas no nos las llevado a él el otro lado.
Saludos.
Thank you, friend! I'm delighted that you grasped my viewpoint on wealth and peace. Wishing you perpetual happiness and a future filled with success!
And their beaks are full too because they need to feed their offshoots. So even the birds toil hard to keep their lives going. The same is the case with humans who work for themselves and also for their families. I wish to add that we should maintain a balance between earning and mental peace.
Absolutely, that's true! Birds continue to bring food to their young ones in their beaks until they're able to fly and forage for food independently.
I appreciate you pointing this out, dear friend, and I have included this point.
Thank You

There is no doubt that money is very important in our life, without money we are nothing, no matter how perfect we are in the world, it is according to our need. So that we can go ahead and work in the future. There is no doubt that people strive for peace. In our region, it is a tradition that they sacrifice their own peace for the sake of other people. This is a great tradition. It is a fact. That we sacrifice our peace and tranquility for the sake of our families and work hard day and night so that they live in peace and tranquility and live their lives in peace. go
Thank you for reading my post. Money isn't everything, my friend. Money is just like fuel for the journey of life. But we've made it our everything and have made earning money the sole purpose of our lives.
