In spite of all attachments, money has got power. For the selfish, it makes the life comfortable and luxurious. For good Samaritans, it makes them capable of reducing the miseries of the world. According to the ancient Indian system, everyone has to earn money (by ethical means) during the Grahasth Ashram (From age 25 to age 50). The important status of Goddess Laxmi and the importance of the festival of Diwali signify the importance of money as seen by the Indian sages.

It is human nature to peep into your neighbours house & grumble that his TV is better than yours. So one begs or borrows(if not steal) & goes for something more costlier & fanciful. But the buck doesn't stop there.One thing leads to another & he is in a deep abyss with loan sharks hovering around.
Self satisfaction is something that can be inculcated thro regular meditation. which over time shall nullify the materialist spasms.
Oh no! My neighbour has again gone & bought the latest mobile. Hello loanshark...

Would you please define " sorrows of matelialism "? Anyone who is sorry that he has so much can correct his problem in a very short time.
Those with the opposite problem, not having enough, have a much tougher time.
Just about all of those who have great power, or stacks of money are not too anxious to give it all up, so I don't believe they're too sorrowful.

From the beginning of history some people have longed and fought for power and money.
Others sit and watch them do it. Who is worse, the killer or the "innocent" bystander who does nothing to prevent it or even report it to the police?

If money can buy you more time to pursue the finer things in life rather than working 12 hours a day for someone else, I say go for it.

I've been saying for a long time and notice that Donald Trump gets credit for "Money can't buy happiness, but it makes miserable more comfortable."

I want power on a massive scale. I just think this is something men strive for.

it's called G-R-E-E-D and competition. It's man's nature to be always wanting! Very few are fortunate to know better and I am greatful to be one of the few.
