Is Too Much Money a Bad Thing? – Essay by Rehaan Bansal Money is tool with the help of which people exchange goods and services. More Money brings power, freedom, and abundance in life. Money does not make anything good or bad, but the thinking does it. Money brings a sense of freedom, freedom to buy and have anything. How can freedom be bad? Nobody wants to live a caged live, everyone desires freedom. “Money has never made man happy, nor will it; there is nothing in its nature to produce happiness. The more of it one has the more one wants.” – Benjamin Franklin Why people perceive too much money a bad thing? Too much money is considered bad because many people having it forgets how to respect and be grateful in life. They take everything in life for granted and feel superior. They forget what is right and wrong, and do not follow any rule and act the way they feel is right. There are many examples of famous personalities all around the world who created their own rules and ultimately destroyed their life and relationship with others. We should also consider the fact, not all people are same. There are many famous personalities who in spite of having too much money respected others, did not take things for granted and had the attitude of gratitude. Many times having too much of anything is considered bad, it also true in many cases such as having too much of water can be poisonous, too much of kindness can make you vulnerable; too much of eating food makes you fat. But all this does not make water, kindness or food bad. Their usage makes it good or bad. Thus, money in itself is not good or bad. Usage of money makes it good or bad. The same money can be used for a good cause such as an aid to help the underprivileged and the same money can be used to buy weapons for terrorism. Choice is yours; you can make or break your world. Money or any other thing in too much is just a tool. Many people think too much money is the cause of every problem, but lack of money is also the cause of every problem. As for example we see poor countries facing loads of problems compared to rich countries. It has also been said “It is better to cry in a BMW than on a bicycle” Eighty percent of the world’s money is with twenty percent of the population, while the rest 20 percent of the world’s money is with eighty percent of the population. Even if we divide the money equally among everyone, gradually within no time the eighty percent of the money will return back to the twenty percent of the population. It is a universal fact – Money stick with those who have good feelings about money and sadly twenty percent of the world’s population feels good about having money. | Writing'Is money Good or Bad?'WALT write persuasively SC: - I have an interesting opening statement which states 'my point of view.' - I have 3 main ideas which supports 'my point of view.' - I have a concluding statement which reinforces 'my point of view.' |

Robbin Hood HeroesRags to riches / Star to addict / Ya’ll know how the story goes / Around every corner and playground / There’s someone that who could have had it all / But for one reason or another/ Their path went somewhere / Other than a world calling their name / From A grade student/ To Class A users / What’s happening with our kids today?/ Poisoned by our own / Can’t sleep anymore / Sister’s work in quarters / Brothers keep on brawling’ / So just tell me how the story ends / The question is where did it all begin
[Chorus:] Robin hood heroes / Just a page in a fairytale lifestyle of the ghetto / They robin’ hood heroes / Goes on and on, Goes on and on [Verse:] They deal to the rich / Give to the poor / Only metres from my door / Turning street legends to urban myth / From Rucker park all the way to Grey Lynn / From what could of to never been/ Be the words in the song you sing / Not with trumpets instead with violins / While you dance by yourself / So hooked / You can’t see you need help / So cooked / So its back to the bro you go / It hurts, cause you could have had it all [Repeat Chorus]
Tigers are at the top of the food chain. They mainly eat large mammals, such as pigs, deer, antelope, buffalo, and gaur. Their preferred and essential food is ungulates – hoofed animals such as deer and wild pigs.
Smaller mammals and birds are occasional prey. Tigers have also been known to eat crocodiles, fish, birds, reptiles, and even other predators like leopards and bears. After eating its fill, the tiger may cover the remains with grass or debris and then return for additional meals over the next several days. A tiger can consume up to 40 kg of meat at one time, but individuals in zoos are given 5-6 kg per day. Solitary huntersTigers hunt primarily by sight and sound rather than smell, and typically hunt alone. They stalk their prey and, once they have reached close proximity, attack from the side or rear, killing by a bite to the neck or the back of the head. |
