Where Does It End?

Today, despite this is one of my first days watching tv all day long.... I do not regret it one bit... because today was a day of the lord of the rings marathon... Its official now... I have watched every single version of lord of the rings, including all the extended versions... Finally, the long journey, the quest of all lord of the rings has finally been accomplished, successfully of course... Well, there wasn't really "rest of the day"... After i woke up, lunch, then the LOTR marathon began... That was basically my day... I have been watching LOTR since 11am and till about 11pm... So yeah...

Money... Money, a very strong word and great item in the matter of fact...To some people, money only seems to be just a mere object, an element, an item to be used when needed... To the rest, money is a matter of life... The value of life is judged by the amount of money and prosperity inherent... Some people think of money(in the wrong way, I suppose) as a heading of life..The main paragraph of the never-ending journey of life...(you get the point)...

The main point of all this is... To what extent should money should be taken to? Should money be the priority of life? Should we put money ahead of everything else? How much should money be esteemed? Wasn't money once made as means to replace trade? Isn't money a form of trade itself? Isn't money just merely a system created to purchase items of necessity or sometimes pleasure? It is important, but how much... Isn't that a question we all should be asking ourselves?

My mind is "semi-paralyzed" or temporarily disabled... so please forgive my somewhat senseless english...Here's a few quotes to atone for my atrocious writings:
They who are of the opinion that Money will do everything, may very well be suspected to do everything for Money.(George Savile)
It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach. (Franklin Roosevelt)
The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money. (unknown)
There are people who have money, and then there are people who are rich. (Coco Chanel)
Life shouldn't be printed on dollar bills.(Clifford Odets)
