SEC-S19 / W3 | "Money or Peace?"

Greetings all my Steemian friends...

---

This is another interesting topic provided by this community "Money or Peace?". If I could choose, I would choose both! These two words must be related to each other in order to create a stable emotional feeling. When one of them is reduced or even non-existent then what is the meaning of abundant wealth? Life is about happiness, a little money is better as long as the heart is happy, or do we have to have money to live happily? It seems like the choice this time is very simple, but if only you could have money and live in peace. Oh, this world really feels like "earthly heaven".

Are we all sacrificing peace to make money?

There is a story that happened recently. A true story that gives us a lot of meaning in the two keywords that this community offers.

Between a mother and her biological children. Back when their father was still alive, this family was full of affection and love. They don't know what life means on their own, because they do everything with honesty and love. Their father worked and never thought about himself, he was even willing to not eat for the sake of his wife and children and he sent his wife to school until she graduated.

Everything changed when his wife qualified as a civil servant and also received certification with a generous salary. His wife bought all her own needs until then and almost forgot about the children and her husband. For years she only thought about her style and way of life and ignored how her husband and children lived. She pursued a master's degree and finally graduated, her civil service level rose and she was at the peak of his success.

Until one day, her husband died. She just acted normal and became even more indifferent to his children. What she is important about is her husband's inheritance. She took everything from her children, she was even reluctant to share her children's rights.

What happens next?

The woman had wasted the children who should have been the most beautiful gift in her life, she had also neglected her husband and still only thought about herself. She regrets that she wasn't good enough for her husband, but doesn't change her attitude towards her children or even her grandchildren.

What does she get now?

Abundant wealth. He has found pleasure in tyrannizing her children. She knew but wealth had made her ignore the peace in her heart. Her children never contacted her. Everything was too late. She became an old woman who was rich but lonely and every day she just cried regretting all her actions.

"True wealth is not measured by the amount of possessions you have, but rather by your heart which feels sufficient."

Which is wiser to spend and earn or to spend after earning and saving?

---

Do we want debt collectors to come and take the motorbike that is parked in front of the house? Of course there is tremendous fear within us when we have to deal with those who will not "be gentle". The overwhelming fear is how can we spend something before earning? That is wrong thinking.

Nowadays, I don't blame those who use savings and loan services or services that give money and are paid at the end of the month with a certain interest percentage. Often we misuse the opportunities we have for the sake of instant/quick wealth. Even though we are trapped emotionally and mentally.

Rich people also have a process to get to that level. They don't sit still, they work and fail many times. However, of course effort never betrays the results. That's why wise people say that "patience is expensive".

It is better for us to spend something after earning money or it is better to save first. Mentally, we will be calmer and safer, and also psychologically, we will not be mentally drained due to emotions and headachesthink about how we can pay for what we have spent. Healthy ways and healthy thoughts will be better for our lives too.

Apart from money, what brings you peace and happiness?

---

Lots of love and delicious food. I am a food lover. Have you ever heard that when you are stressed, your mood for eating decreases? No! That doesn't apply to me. Ha ha
I will feel happy when a mouthful of delicious food enters my mouth even when I am sick or in trouble. Or even when you see delicious food on the side of the road, photos of food or something like that, maybe it's a photo of food on your block.

Actually, I'm not the type of person who really thinks about problems. I don't want a life full of problems, that's why I always try to think positively about other people, it's better for me to get hurt than for other people to get hurt because of me. Happiness is very simple, try widening your lips to the right and left and you are smiling. Sometimes even a little smile can make me very happy.
