Welcome to Psychobabble!

PsychoBabble is an opportunity for you to tell us what you think, to express your opinion on a question we raise...and in the process, have a few laughs as well!

Last time's question was:
What's more important - love or money ?

And here's what you had to say:

Money. You can't trust love - you can bet your life on money. Money talks, love tends to 'whisper'- and when money talks, it talks loud. Love money, it'll return your affection :-)
-Ranjit Babu
Money ...love is something that is done with your brain....your heart is just a blood pump....If money is there love will follow....but only with love money may not necessarily follow. Else Mother Teresa might have been a billionaire

Probably everyone is scared of expressing a frank opinion. Love is important to u till u discover that people "love" u only if u r rich, beautiful, glamorous, successful, etc. Else no one loves u. Once u get the fundas of finding love, money becomes more important. Which goddamned fool said that money cant buy you love? Why do u think is Valentine's day a million dollar business opportunity? Eagles were bull-shitting when they sang "love will keep us alive". Love kills u. U lose u'r sense, pride. In short it leaves u good for nothing. Love is the biggest lie ever told after god, maybe before god. U can invest all u'r time & afforts nurturing love & still people will desert u. At least money isn't as fickle as "love". Love is an illusion, a euphimism for lust & an excuse for emotional blackmail, for cheating people into doing things they wouldnt do otherwise. parents love kids, ha, big deal. How many of u can swear that it's self-less love? U'r gf(bf) loves u. If u jot down the reasons she(he) loves u, u'll find she(he) would have loved u'r sworn enemy as much had he(she) been as good looking, successful, rich or whatever as u. Love ... f******* bull-shit.
-Anjali
I think it would be love...because as they say money can buy you anything but love...so if you have the money ...it cant get you the love... but if you love those around you...I think money would be not a problem to get...all this sounds too poetic,... but the truth is money is important but not more than love.
-Kapil Bhatia
Thats a real tough one to answer folks, The answer would vary from person to person and also from situation to situation. I am very sure that the same person will answer differently when faced with a different situation. But all factors being X or equal i guess its Love which is more important. That I have experienced.
Maybe be because Money cant buy Love (True Love). There are folks who will argue that once the better half sees the money they will Love you, but then that means your money and not YOU as an individual. Money cant buy you mental peace either. In other words money is only Materialistic.
But on the other hand If you have Love around you, you can definitley make the money. You could be more at peace with yourself and those around you.
I guess this is a never ending debate. You can argue both ways.
-Sanju Mathews
If I have lot of money then may be I hate LOVE, but I have fulfilled with Love, that meant atleast LOVE is everything for me.Money is required to live in this world, without money I can live but without LOVE I can't live. LOVE is the last and best thing in the world and that's why we are live.
-Vijay Ahire
At the risk of sounding a bit dated, I think I have to come down on the side of love being far more important than money. Call me a romantic or a dreamer - it's still better than being a miser ;-)
