Is money everything?

Money has already become one of the most popular subjects of talks around us. Most of people agree that money means everything. Can money really buy anything? Of course not.
First, money cannot buy knowledge and wisdom. Of course, you can buy all kinds of books you like with it, and your book cabinet is full of books, but it does not mean you have mastered it. If you want to know more, you will have to learn it little by little.
Second, money cannot buy time. Although you have lots of money, you cannot buy yesterday. A rich man is always thinking how to have better food, how to spend a round the world trip, so time is wasting.
And besides, money cannot buy health and happiness. Health which can leads us to succeed is of great value. While the happiness, which is the most important thing they like to find, cannot be afforded by money.
Money can improve our living quality and bring whatever material we demand, but it is not all-purpose in spiritual accomplishment. Generally speaking, money is not everything.
