Money. The one word that everyone understand. When you're in a foreign country and asking for price, just rub your thumb with your pointing finger and middle finger. This movement signifies money. It will be universally understood.
The famous phrase: "Money can't buy happiness". But it can buy certain happiness. Certain happiness like cars, houses, jewelry, high-end brands, even health can be bought. Who says that these things can't make us happy. It CAN! But for how long? a minute, an hour, a day or a few years? That depends on the individual.
Money is the root of all evil. Well, when you want it to be. People would lie, murder, and betray just to get their pudgy hands on those leafy paper. When they have attain it, you will hear that evil laugh...you know the one like they show on tv. Greed comes hand in hand with money. The more we have attained the more we want it and cannot get enough of it, almost like a drug.
Borrowing and lending. These two terms are pretty familiar to us. We borrow money from anybody and lend to somebody. In reality, when desperation kicks in we would borrow from anyone including from an 80-year-old person. Money can tempt us to spend even more than we should. I don't mind people borrowing money from me as long as they pay back as promised. Well, good luck sister. What irks me is that people taking on others' kindness for granted. It is something that I don't get. We would lend money to somebody in need. Those with a soft heart would lend as much as they could and at times to a fault.
