Soul or Money

          There they were with blood all over their faces that are dipped in disgrace and shame. There they were beating each other to death not caring about the sorrow that they might suffer later. There they were fighting for the sake of something financial that will not last forever and they might not need if their souls were driven away by this quarrel. Oh what kind of fools they are? Do they have something in their narrow minds? Or do they only have the thirst for money that is destroying them? Yes. Yes. A lot of people especially in poor countries tend to quarrel in order to get some money to feed their agonizing souls that are searching for a crust to stay alive and to please the spectators that in their turn are helping in the destruction of humanity. But is what they are doing the right thing? There is only one suitable answer for that and it is no, no, no!!! No one should risk his life to get money that won’t matter if their life was affected. So what these people are doing whether for money or spectators is wrong for plenty of reasons.

          First of all these people should use a thing called brain in order to save themselves from the jeopardy that they are into, and that is to save their beloved ones from the sorrow that will be attached to them thus making their life miserable, and also not to let their minds punish them when only a thread is separating them from fatal death thus losing every thing they lived and worked for. These people tend to fight in order to get money like wrestlers, gangsters and a many more should be aware of the consequences of their actions and their affection on those they care the most about.

          According to the spectators that are thrilled by these events, they are selfish people seeking only to fill their souls with laugher and joy. But if they were in the shoes of those who are fighting to get attention, would that be a nice thing as far as they are concerned? Would their hearts and souls be filled with laughter anymore? No, no, no; fear will haunt their souls that would be filled with frightening thoughts and will be dipped in horror. So they don’t have to think about these wrestlers as an amusement tool but have to think about the suffering and sacrifice that those people feel and keep in their heart that would be broken by the thing that they are doing.

          So to end up what has been said I shall say to those who sacrifice their lives for the sake of money that money won’t last for ever. It will always come and go, but the soul goes once and never comes. So what is the benefit of money without a soul in a body that will be nothing without your spirit but will be every thing without money?
