Money and the Meaning of Life
In an interview with Jacob Needleman, I learned his insights
between the relationship of money and the meaning of life. Money may be one of
the greatest influences throughout the course of ones life. For some it comes
easy and for others it can be challenging to obtain. The key is to know you own
personal views on money. How do you value money and how does it affect your
behavior. Needleman proclaims that money cannot change who a person is. I am
not sure if I agree with this statement but I agree with his point that a
competitor will always try to compete the same way a nervous, stressed person
will find reasons to worry about. In addition Needleman talks about how being
wealthy does not make a person intelligent or smart in other areas. I agree
with this statement but I think that people who are wealthy do have access to
resources and people to better equip themselves with knowledge in other areas
and subsequently giving them a major advantage. Lastly I agree that having
money is not how success is measured rather one can measure success through
other measures like how happy one is, and the kind actions of giving back to
something bigger than yourself.
