This is a really hard pick you've set out. While a larger part of my head is running towards money, the more sensible part is asking for love. I'm at a crossroad now.😫

Seeing that a popular song writer said she would rather be crying in a Bentley with dollar bills surrounding her, I'm tempted to choose the money, but, helpe answer these;

  • Can money give me genuine care or even buy half hearted care?

  • Can money give me warm hugs on days I feel dispair??

I think not. While money is good and can buy a lot of the finer things of life, I've seen it's shortage and lack of thr ability to offer real human empathy, one thing which is every humans core need.
Love on the other hand they say, covers all thinhs.
Think of love like a warm blanket that has pockets and inside those pockets are varied gifts wrapped in swaddled clothes, one could pick money, or not, but since I'm already making the money, give me love.

Money doesn't hug one on cold days or give a warm embrace on days of despair so please give me the love. The money is coming.😁

Wise thoughts you’ve stated here
Well for me you said

Think of love like a warm blanket that has pockets and inside those pockets are varied gifts wrapped in swaddled clothes, one could pick money, or not, but since I'm already making the money, give me love.

I choose to think of money as a warm blanket that inside one of the pockets I will get my swaddling gift of love wrapped in it and the warm hugs and other things I need.

Toh
Give me money and put love inside it😏. I want both but let money come first. I don too suffer😒. I don’t want love blanket that there’s no money inside the pockets ooo.
Toh

😂😂😂 I see the switch here Ma'am😂

THE STRUGGLE BETWEEN LOVE AND MONEY

The argument between Love and Money could be likened to the debate on who is the Greatest of all time in football. While many supports Messi, Ronaldo's fans are also uncountable in numbers thus leading to an endless debate. Also, in regards Love and Money, while Money boost ones prestige, provides comfort and opportunities, love on the other side brings about a sense of belonging, emotional fulfilment and series of commitments. In today's world where money is seen as the solutions to all things, there exist a vacuum on its ability to replace the depth and impact that love provides.

In my opinion, there exist a nexus between Love and Money. However, their roles are quite different and vital in their own ways. Money on it part can reduce distress and hardship in a relationships, allowing couples to choose the kind of future they wish to build together. On the contrary, money alone does not guarantee the successful actualization of these plans as many wealthy and influential individuals are suffering and crying as a result of broken relationships which has created a scar that no amount of money can heal.

Notable great men like the likes of Howard Hughes despite the amount of money he had died in total isolation and lack of happiness. Meanwhile a noted poor person like Mother Teresa, lived happily and found deep joy and purpose as a result of love and services. This two stories proves that money can buy luxurious items but not true companionship.

By this, I personally have no doubt that money is essential for survival. However, love is and will forever remains the ultimate because it is always said that love makes the world go round round round. From my perspective, materialism is not and will never be a true yardstick to measure true wealth. Rather true is a function of the love and sincere relationships we build with one another. Therefore I though I LOVE money, I will.always choose LOVE.

Beautiful piece I must say but I thought they said money makes the world go round, when did it transfer that ability to love?

Seems you never paid attention to this song while in the children section of your church. Personally,II gave full attention because it was always sang every Sunday during biscuits sharing period. You did to see how I channelled energy into singing the song so as to get an extra carbon biscuit

Is love, is love
that makes the world goes round
Is love is love
That makes the world goes round...
Is love that makes the world goes round....

I didn’t even know about this song as a kid
The one I know is the secular song that says that money makes the world go round
Maybe he changed it from love to money

Toh

Me I need both, money and the love ☺️

And you placed money first.... Lol....

Yes ooo my brother
I’ve seen love with shege

So lemme see money and love

Much love from me then...

Some people love money, other people pay for love.
That was not exactly the answer though, so what would I choose?

I've had moments when I had a bit more money in my life (never Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk level of money, obviously, but I was living comfortably), and I had moments when I was poor enough to learn twenty different ways to prepare pasta with onions - the only two ingredients I could afford :)

Now, it's an extreme, and if we are talking about being in love but starve or being alone but rich, obviously I choose the option that gives me more chances to survive. It's an animal instinct, nobody wants to die, even if the agony would be accompanied with the love poem of our equally poor partner. If we will ignore the extreme, and we will put on the plate two options:
a) living lower-middle class life with plenty of love or
b) living upper-middle or upper class life solo
then I choose love

Each time I was traveling, learning new skills, discovering new meals in my life, I was getting the same amount of pleasure, or even more of it, from sharing those moments, experiences and my thoughts about it with people in around. Not having love, especially understood in less obvious way, not only as romantic feeling, but also love to our friends or even to ourselves, would be challenging.

I know I didn't post foto or share the contest, but it's ok. Just wanted to share my entry for fun, not that much into the rewards ;)

To me, love is more important than money. While love can inspire and motivate us to earn money, wealth alone can never buy true love. Love is an emotion that cannot be purchased.
In today's world, money holds great significance, and many prioritize it above all else. However, true happiness cannot come from money alone- love is just as essential.
Love is not limited to the bond between a boyfriend and girlfriend or a husband & wife. It is the connection between two people, whether they are parents and children, siblings, spouses, or friends. Love has no fixed definition, it is an emotion that comes from the heart, strengthening relationships and bringing people closer.

Money is important, but love is a fundamental need for every person. While money can provide comfort and security, It is love that brings true happiness, warmth and meaning to life.

So I would choose love over money. I want to invite my friends @wakeupkitty, @vishwara & @trafalgar for this.
