WHAT PROMPT PEOPLE TO AMASS WEALTH BEYOND NEEDS?

Wealth and man have an age old robust relationship. Most people in the world do something for their daily living. While some work in their own field, others work in others fields and earn wages from them. While the highest majority of the people work and earn in these two ways, a very few get an opportunity to make a quantum leap forward in amassing wealth. Then comes the shortest way to earn wealth; and that is theft. Thefts are of two kinds. One is snatching others valuables secretly or forcibly and the other is forcing a person to pay the money to a government servant or an elected representative. We call the latter bribe, corruption etc  

There are people who hold large amount of wealth for generations. Let us ignore them. Let us focus on those who earn by cheating, stealing and by corruptive practices and become rich overnight. This is called, amassing wealth by illegitimate means. These earnings are always accompanied with the curses by the givers. In most cases these curses are followed by large quantity of tears too. These will never allow those crooks to enjoy with these unearned money. They will have a pathetic end. All these ordeals shall be carried forward to their offsprings too.

There are people in our country who amass wealth by corruptive means to the extend of the use of many generations to come. None of these successive generations shall either enjoy or live peacefully with this unearned wealth. On the other hand the money earned through honest means will fetch happiness and peace to self and the coming generations. Let us, therefore, never look for corruptive means for making money.
