Unseen world

No one would deny the fact that people are living in a Business world. Starts from morning till the night, one either sells or buys goods or services. In the morning, one wakes himself/herself up with clock or phone which one has bought. Then, one takes a breakfast and pay for transportation fees to reach the destination. At work, one has to sell his/her services. At school, one has to buy a service. At night, one has to rest on a bad which one bought. So, one cannot really separate oneself from this world. Even for a monk who live one life with donations has to buy things for his/her personal needs at some points. Thus, Karl Marx states that people are living in a cog of the economic machine.


In this Business world, Money is god. It is very attractive. It punishes and inspires people as well. It needs to be loved. If one does not love it and try one best to find it, it immerse one in the ocean of poverty and suffering. It can even kill people. One is inspired to do anything for this god. It does not leave one alone even the person does not know it. Either one notices it or not, likes it or not, believes it or not, the person is affected by it.  

It sets the standard of morality as well. For those who have much will be praised, respected and regarded as successful person in this world nowadays. The person would be treated as a god. Things are made to be use for a while and irreplaceable. Thus, now people does not like long relationship nor if it breaks up, they do not want to fix it but replace the relationship with new partner.

One would argue, there are good things about this god. Yet, it is more harms than goods.  

And there is a God who loves people so much that He send His only begotten Son to be with us.
