Benjamin Franklin: the uttered words

 Benjamin Franklin was one of the founding father of United States Of America. He in his entire life time had said many remarkable things but i certainly disagree with his statement that "Money had never made a man happy, and nor will it. There is nothing in its nature which produce happiness". He for sure seems to have ignore the fact that, it is the money which allows people to feed their children, that enables the people to buy cloth they wear, that allows people to get good education from a good institute and also allow people to get treated from a good physician when they are ill.
                                                                                                            Eyes were focused on the road, the paddles of cycle are moving with uniformity, his torn and dirty cloths giving brief of his financial status. All of a sudden there was a noise of an accident. At the next moment the man was lying on the ground with a bleeding knee, moaning in pain. There was a black Mustang which was the cause of it. A lady came out of, wearing black suit and Perl necklace, high pointed heal, black glass matching the dress. People gathered, but what was startling is that all started blaming the man for the accident. After enough blaming they left him on his own, with still bleeding knee,with lament.
    The most neglected aspect of money is that it helps you gain self respect and confidence. Has not the scenario would different if the man would be riding a car or a bike and wearing good cloths. It surely would have .
                           Drab was the look on the face of children in the classroom[a elementary school classroom in a slum] The tall girl with her weighed-down head. The paper-seeming boy, with rat's eyes. The stunted, unlucky heir Of twisted bones, reciting a father's gnarled disease,
His lesson from his desk. At back of the dim class One unnoted, sweet and young. His eyes live in a dream Of squirrel's game, in the tree room, other than this. The hungry poor children looking at the board, teacher screeching at the board trying to make them learn Algebra but the mind of children is lost in the baseless dreams of fresh bread and soup which they could never have. The presented is a scenario of one of many slum schools around the world. The children with no future, they have no interest in algebra, Shakespeare or Columbus all they need and dream of is food. The hungry mind can't learn anything their parents feeding them with whatever they earn and themselves sleeping hungry at nights. If they would have money they would have feed their children and live a happy and comfortable life. Here is where one realizes the importance of money.
                                     
                                                                           The poor people is the most neglected species in the world. A man once said "the shackles of poverty impedes a the poor people from succeeding". Almost 65% poor in the world lives in India. Each year thousands die without proper treatment of their illness. Thousands of infants die and many suffer through permanent illness; the diseases which could be cured by the basic vaccination but if you are poor you cannot get your child vaccinated because vaccination also requires money. Every year when cold wave hits India hundreds of people die, mostly poor people who have no money to buy equipment to keep their abodes warm. There are total over 820 million chronically hungry people in the world. 1/3rd are from India. Over 20 million people in India sleeps hungry every night. Over 70,000 people die from hunger every year. Even the poor people are being used and tortured by other people. In India, the drugs before release in the market are being tested on human being, they are being tested on poor for a light sum of money.
medicine

           Money helps one to feed them and their family, it allows them to wear comfortable cloths, go to proper schools, graduate from a good collage, to keep the house warm in the winter and cold in summer, it allows people to get proper treatment when they are suffering from illness. All those are few of many things which one could enjoy if one had money and ultimately leads to happiness.
