One of the few things that can make us truly happy, fulfilled and satisfied is money. Money is simply a tool, like a hammer. Tools have no value they are neither good or evil. People think that the actual money is the root of all evil, they don't realize that the love that most people have for it is the root all off evil. You can like money to an extreme amount, but never let it become your god. Respect money for all the good it can do. Have good plans for your money. Enjoy money and have a desire for money, but never live your life for money. Use money properly and you can build a happy, satisfying, life. Use it improperly and your life will be miserable. The world we live in today is ran by money and money only.
It's really sick what people do for money. Money is also used for manipulation and mind control. You can almost do what ever you want if you have a lot of money. Think about the fact that the currency we exchange is nothing more than printed paper. It doesn’t really have any value at all except the value that’s been assigned to it. Why would we want to measure our personal wealth against printed paper that has no value? And yet, this is the mindset that millions of people have adopted. Look at the effect money has on the way we view ourselves. And regardless of how we reason on it intellectually, the truth is, we all have an emotional connection with money because we always feel better when finances are not an issue.
It's okay to want to make a lot of money, it becomes a problem when people let money control their life. From early childhood we are told that money makes the world go around. So right away, we learn to recognize that everything we want in life has a price tag on it. From that point on our mindset is that to get anything in life it requires money. I wonder what the world would be like if money didn't matter.
This is very insightful and I have thought about this on many accounts. It is very sad and sickening how controlling money is. Money shouldn't have that much control over anyone. It shouldn't give anyone the power to control people either. Money doesn't and shouldn't show a person's worth or value.The mindset that most people have towards money is extremely corrupt.
ReplyDeleteThis post was very emotional and makes you think a lot about how our world runs on money to do everything. Look at Apple for an example they are one of the most successful company's in the U.S. they make around $28 billion a year. What are they going to do with all that money, they might give some of it to charity but what about the rest, well there going to hog it all for themselves. If money was never invented our society would be a much better and happier place to live in, but that just a thought in our head because who would ever want to give up money and give things away for free, no one that who. Who knows we might actually give up money someday and work to better pursue the human race, but that isn't going to happen today.
ReplyDeleteThis post has really made me think about money. It is true that money is used to manipulate people and that the world we live in today is ran by money. Don't get me wrong, money is a good and nice thing to have but money shouldn't be controlling us as individuals. Many people today are brainwashed because of money and all they think about it money, money, money. Money should not control the way we live our life.
