Money

I sent my second uncle to the bank this morning. He mentioned that he is at the edge of death. He uttered something which is very reflective to me. “What is money to me now?” This is what he uttered when he transferred certain amount of money to my grandmother.
He said he rather wants his life to be prolonged than the amount of money. Upon listening to that, I cried. At the same time, I recalled a saying goes “Money is everything.” Is money everything? What can money do to a person that is at the edge of death?
If money can make one’s life immortal, then, it’s everything.
