We all have to earn his bread and butter. Different people earn in different ways. While earning we have to face many obstacles and unwanted situations. Our situations are not always fair. Unfortunately, men in the modern man are in rat race. They madly running after money and have become money -minded. People are not afraid of anything. They want to be by hook or by crook. They have no human and moral values. We do not pay heed to our age old social norms and principles. They all are turned down. In this age of science and technology almost everything is in our grip, so also money. We all want to become rich overnight. And so we invite corruption in our life. Earning money is no sin, but mean ways of earning is mean. To buy all the comforts of life, we forget our senses. One should always remember that honest people are respected in society.
