InDIRECT Proportionality

Its 2.30 a.m and I am unable to sleep,
I struggled for almost two hours,
Tried reading a book, listening to music, but nothing seems to work,
And that’s when I give up my futile efforts and start writing,

I ask myself why. The answer I get is that I haven’t earned anything today being a weekend,
So I don’t earn my sleep. Strange isn’t it. But somewhere I feel it to be right though.

While I was trying to sleep, a strange thought appeared,
What is directly proportional in this world?
What is directly proportional to a mother’s love?
What is directly proportional to self-respect?
What is directly proportional to faith?
What is directly proportional to honesty to sincerity?
What is directly proportional to peace?
To many more such things you and I can think of.

Nope. No answer as of now.

But there is something which has a direct proportionality, and that is money.
Money is measured, seen, exchanged for materials, actions, skills and sometimes principles (Which I hate to admit).
For the sake of It, we leave behind everything and go where It takes us to make It.
The process of making It is wonderful, It’s a creation, It’s power, It’s an energy,
It’s like a self-recognition to the act you are performing sincerely.
It’s not an end-result, but an on-going process,
I firmly believe that money-making is not a skill but an art.

Many people would argue that money is an inordinate manner to measure,
But there should be something to measure ourselves against,
What else can one be measured against?
