Not Even For a Million Dollars

Is there anything you wouldn’t do for a million dollars?

Money isn’t everything.  There are many things not worth the money earned or spent.  One of my favorite quotes is, what I really want, money can’t buy, and there are many things I wouldn’t do for even more than a million dollars.

A career I would not want is assassin.  Killing is against the law, and we shouldn’t kill for no or stupid reasons.  Jobs like assassin, which harm others, should be considered crimes.  Same with hunting.  Except for the necessary food and defense, hunting should be a crime instead of sport.  Animals have the right to live as much as people do.  I wouldn’t assassinate, hunt, or attack others without reason for a million dollars.

Any behavior or action harming others, violating rights, that is improper, or encourages unpleasant things should not be carried out, even for money.  For example, I wouldn’t use foul langugage even for more than a million dollars.  The shame and negative effects are not worth it.  The same goes for promoting drug abuse or violence.  It would only make the world a worse place to live.

I also wouldn’t bungee jump, skydive, jump off a cliff, or participate in other dangerous entertainment for a million dollars.  I am not a risk taker, and the possible pain, illnesses, injuries, and death are not worth it.  What use would all that money be if you are dead or impaired?

At times, more money causes more problems.  Managing wealth is very stressful, especially with so much politics today.  Being rich can make us vulnerable to robbery, too.

Money can’t buy happiness or end suffering in the world, either.  Originally, money was to make life and obtaining necessities easier, not become a form of power and struggle.  There are many things more important than a million dollars, such as world peace.
