I usually see life as a series of elements that need to be balanced to achieve a certain harmony, making life more like a serene and manageable journey.

Many people believe that money is everything and brings happiness, and I often imagine it metaphorically as if the balance of life were a rod with a support point right at its center of mass.

Certainly, the balance depends on what we place on the rod; sometimes it will sway or teeter more to one side than the other, making our life a bit more unstable, but… that’s just how it is! Life fluctuates and is constantly changing, like the weights we place on each side of the rod.

This is where I begin to reflect on the role money plays in this analogy, and the best fit I see for money is that it determines the size of our rod. If we have a lot of money, the rod will be longer, and as a result, it will be harder for things beyond our control to disturb our balance.
