Money Is More Necessary Than Brains

Is Money Worth Brains?

The growing changes in today's world has made man materialistic, with a gradual concern for money, which they believe symbolizes power and prestige in society. With this trend, the value of the essence of true learning, intellectual power is deteriorating and is on the gradual decline. 

       

      Is money worth brains? The question may haunt philosophers, philanthropists and intellectuals of the present day. Strangely enough, a man who has money, is honored, treated with dignity and esteem and valued in society. However, the question remains that can money supersede the human brain; the seat of knowledge that nurtures within it the power of learning, discoveries, inventions, noble literary thoughts and the spirit of true education. Can the brain be replaced by money? It maybe an issue for a heated argument. But then, even people with money have to bow down before intellectual power, before the seat of knowledge and surrender in submission. Who can ignore the literary works of  Tagore, the achievements of Shakespeare, the lyricism of Shelly or the spontaneity of Wordsworth, men of intellectual learning, who are rather more acknowledged for their brain than their material wealth. Probably Bill Gates maybe the world's richest tycoon but there can be no doubt that Shakespeare's literary works are richer in their content, a treasure house of knowledge that can never come to an end like material riches. 

Hence, money maybe needed for survival, essential to meet the needs of the present day but surely none can deny the power of literary knowledge and the superiority of the brain- the powerhouse of all knowledge.
