For my friends who love to talk about love and who are always in love, this blog’s for you.
I noticed my girl friends are not so interested if the topic is not about love but then I don’t want to miss talking about my favorite subject money so I think this is a perfect topic. Time for sharing, I want to share to you "The Science of Getting Rich." It is one of my favorite and I can say one of the best books I’ve ever read. This book was written by Wallace Wattles 100 years ago, imagine 1910! I’ve got invaluable and beautiful insights about love, wealth and money after reading this classic book so I highly recommend reading this. Let me share my favorite passages in this book.
Wallace Wattles said:
There are three motives for which we live: We live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three - body, mind, or soul - can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body, and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or soul.
A person cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and warm shelter, and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are also necessary to his physical life. One cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them, without opportunity for travel and observation, or without intellectual companionship. To live fully in mind a person must have intellectual recreations, and must surround himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating.
To live fully in soul, a person must have love, and LOVE is denied fullest expression by POVERTY. A person’s highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves; love finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in GIVING. The individual who has nothing to give cannot fill his place as a spouse or parent, as a citizen, or as a human being. It is in the use of material things that a person finds full life for his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of supreme importance to each individual to be rich.
I strongly agree with Wallace Wattles but take note I disregarded it before and it led me to headaches. Now I’m happy, my thoughts about love and money suddenly changed. Giving is a wonderful expression of love and you can’t give what you don’t have. It is everybody’s duty to make the most of yourself and be financially free, by doing so you’ll be better in loving because you have something to give for your love ones and you'll have the opportunity to contribute for the betterment of humanity.
Does money really matter in love? Share your thoughts and please leave your comments. Thank you!

Yes! i believe money is important also because a man's duty is to protect and provide in all aspect of life emotionally, psychology, spiritually and financially. Vir
ReplyDeleteHi, Thanks Bro. Vir for the great comment. That's true a man needs to protect and provide but so sad some men fail to do this and it results to parting, separation or broken family. Some mothers have to work abroad to provide for the needs of their family. Families are meant to be together. We need to strive hard to have financial freedom.
