Money can get many things, but not all of our life. Can we buy health, love and affection? Is it possible to remove a person’s pain and problems with money alone? Despite the facilities like best teaching, environment and timely food, a student fails in the exams. A man asked God, Give me everything to enjoy life. God replied, I have given you life to enjoy everything. Life can be happy without money, but not the other way round.
