I have been “busy busy” with school projects and other stuffs that I have not had the time to really seat my ass down and blog, but hec today is a Friday and I don’t have classes and I had a long chat with an old friend and that triggered this post.

My primary objective of wanting money is to make enough money to continue to make enough money. I can call it an Iterative constant. Would I say Money for its own sake? Yes and No, But I can say, I am quite selfish in that regards and I would explain my angle of reasoning precisely. This wants and need, is about me and my immediate family and my generation. The community also gets to benefit from this blessing as part of my pay back to what it has offered me. Someone asked me a question. The question was, you must have something you want to use the money for?

I want money for a comfortable lifestyle, freedom from “money suppression”, brought about by jealousy and greed of not been able to afford what you want or need. In fact lack of money is the root to all evils and I say that today because Nigeria for example has a troubling crime rate primarily brought about by poverty.

Rich kids do not have problems of having money because they can’t cope if they lose it, or because they can’t make it from scratch. Rich kids find themselves in that situation or should I say condition. So an aftermath shouldn’t be speculated of the possible vanishing of that condition. Nevertheless we shouldn’t forget the fact that poor kids suffer from depression and often get involved in crime if not properly trained and monitored. If you bring children to this world it is your responsibility to see that they are comfortable with the situation of this world.

A good example is inviting a guest to your house and denying the guest comfort just because they claim they do not want comfort as the case was possible to arise if your kids don’t want money. As I said it is a condition and they must embrace it just the way it is if they do not care about it. It’s not a nature, it’s a condition. Nobody likes discomfort. Humans have their needs and wants, so why would they fight against what they don’t care about?

Someone did ask me what comfort meant.
From my own understanding, comfort means, been contended with the situation in life due to the ability of meeting up to everyday needs and wants and been happy with it, and not wanting more than just that. This is without any regrets due to constraints brought about by the lack of a resource to satisfy any particualar need and want.

Comfort is a condition. You can only be comfortable when you have no immediate challenges in life that gives you discomfort.I understand wealth quite well and the need to get money. That I can go on and on to explain my beliefs an so far I have been successful in trying to pass my stance across. How about poverty? How many people can explain that state and maybe a reason to believe in that condition? One category I shouldn’t forget to mention is the “middle Class”.

The middle class actually complain more than the poor, yet they claim to be comfortable? Why are they complaining if they are comfortable? In fact their scale of preference accommodates the need for a better life which can be ensured by striving harder to earn more money. That perfectly explains why they celebrate a pay increase!! Or wish they could buy that car!! Or in some cases even invest in mutual funds to earn more, yet they claim they are “comfortable with their current state” which indirectly I can say infers that they are not interested in anything more than they currently earn or have?

Another interesting situation is “I can afford but I don’t want nor need, even though I might use or have a use for it”, it is call stinginess from the human general perspective but that actually properly explains an internal comfort with the current situation in life and to me that is been comfortable in a sense of when you want to believe in the aspect of staying within the realms of the middle class.

Richness is a condition that ensures comfort within the paradigm of needs and wants but been in the “middle-class” category does not bring comfort.
