Money

All around us ( I included) we see people running after money at costs. Cost of relations, cost of peace, cost of love, cost of self respect and self esteem, cost of other human beings and so on. What matters is money and more money. Isn't it strange and doesn't it show how foolish our species is? Money is necessary to an extent. But what purpose does it serve beyond a limit? Untill and unless it is put to some use for doing something? Money in Swiss Banks? isn't it just a waste? And what costs people must have paid to earn that? Money can only be a means, not an end. I do feel we are the most foolish species on earth though we think just the opposite.
