Romanticism and materialism are by-products of categorisation, conflicts, wars, order, races, etc. Greedy bellies have converted us into mere expats fleeing from that suffocating periphery. Living up to people’s expectations causes greed, whilst we grow expats because social norms insist on leaving us adrift. Human psyche is easily acquainted with, but still difficult to be redressed.
Accounts on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Hellotalk,etc, are meant to be hearts’ food. Compliments and emoticons are tidbits would never make us full. To my way of thinking, relationships, especially, online ones are paintings relying on the painters. We are the painters who choose which one to show off, or dismiss, which is considered a masterpiece, or barely a scribble.
According to science, order is woven into the tapestry of life and it is something unchangeable as evolution occurs differently. However, religions have another standpoints that human beings are equal before Allah.
“And drive not away those who call upon their Lord morning and evening, desiring His Face. Naught of their reckoning falls upon thee and naught of thy reckoning falls upon them, such that thou shouldst drive them away and thus become one of the wrongdoers.”
This Quranic verse was reportedly revealed when a group of prominent Makkans indicated that they wished to join the Prophet’s teaching circle, but were loathe to sit among and be associated with some of Muhammad’s other followers who were of low social standing (including Bilāl and other freed slaves) and so asked the Prophet to send them away.
Universal trust: with money as a go-between, any two people can cooperate on any project.
Human beings believe that money is the key overshadowing hearts. I am deep down sure that there is a relationship between money and that void in our lives. Accumulation of one side will definitely shrink the other one. Ironically I have none of them, but that void is unbearable!
The Holy Bible says that the love of money is the root of all evil.

Well, too much money and one becomes proud and distances from those who do not have much. And if we have less money and good in relationships, we still feel the pinch of less money.

I think our world’s overwhelming focus on money an acquisition creates (or at least tends to create) a void in both those who have and those who don’t. Stepping outside our own culture is incredibly difficult.

Good points. I think there’s nothing wrong with using money. Jesus used money. Even big money can do all sorts of good — like providing the funds for people to have well water near their home, or specialized medical care or food/water after a disaster. But, when money is the focus of our heart, it’s really easy for our motives and actions to become evil. Blessed are the balanced. 🙂

Yes. We are enjoined to help poor people until we get rid of poverty, but somehow we go astray!
