Is it possible to live a good life without money? Probably not. How much money is sufficient to lead a good life? How much money is too much? No answer!!
There are 3 types of people who despise money
1st: Losers; Those who don’t have and also are sure they will never have enough of it. So in other words they are afraid of admitting to themselves that they are losers. So they are just trying to justify their choices, decisions, capabilities, orientations, or even fate.
2nd: Hypocrites; Those who had enough of it and have no charm of it any longer (or at least say so as a fashion statement or to project themselves as gentle, humble, selfless personalities). In other words they traded money for power and respect.
3rd (Unnamed) are supernatural beings who didn't have it but still realized that money is not worth running after. This is a very rare species and it's extremely difficult to distinguish it from 1st category (specially for a skeptic like me)
Can we say "Money is necessary evil" in analogy with quote from physics "Friction is necessary evil", b'Coz you can't live without them and too much is too bad.

why only money...almost everything in excess is bad.. Old cliche but equally true. be it anything emotions love feelings etc. overdoing is always a problem.
Money also causes friction between people ;-)
I too agree that the 1st category often disguises itself in the 3rd one and is rare if we make a classification like this. But in general no one is a permanent member of one of these classes. Permanent mood swings are unpredictable.
Still there are many people for whom we can't even question and they may not fall in any of these three categories. This includes some 'greeb' great scholars, poets who had the opportunity and talent to make money and they needed it badly but still they were passionate about something else. The best example for this is Nand Laal Noorpuri.
@ Varun, ya that can b another expectation from the article by looking at the title.
Anyway, that s also worth a thought..may b i ll address that in some future post :)
