SAT essay

Money, power and fame are wordly desires that most people want for more comfortable and envious life that everyone dreams and serves like an idol or god. Refusing any of them is a great challenge for humans because money, which is the most essential value or thing in the world and the most important thing that can support humans, cannot be ignored. Without money people cannot drink, eat, enjoy, have warm and cool house. It's become almost the same as human lives and this is one of the reasons why people work hard.
Because money appears to solve all wordly problems, it's not easy to rejuect and some even break laws to make money like drug dealers, thieves, illegal businesses.
But even if they make a lot of money by doing illegal activities, their hearts are not always easy, comfortable or happy. Obviously, because they are humans, they feel "guilty" and this came from their consciences. No one can live comfortably with guilt. They won't have good sleep no matter how many hours they spend on it. They can't even laugh when they want to due to their guilty actions. Because they are afraid of punishements for their guilty actions, money cannot dominate conscience. Nothing can cover or erase burdens from individuals, they want to clear it off so they can be comfortable. For example, let's say a normal civilian has decided to kill a wealthy man to satisfy his desire for money to solve his financial problems. The civilian becomes a murderer as soon as he takes the money and everytime when he solves his problems by "illegal money", he thinks about the wealthy man who had to die for the civilian's problems and he feels guilty. Even though he's solved all his financial problems, he can't have a comfortable sleep as he imagined before he solved the problems, instead he's got a huge burden which is a lot heavier than the problems he had and now he has to fight everyday. It's obvious that he will feel free and comfortable when he turns himself in and that's because of his conscience. Cleaning his sins off is same as cleaning his conscience's dusts.
Although people desire more wealth, they always say it's better to be poor than feeling guilty.
