Money is what makes the world go
around. Of course, that may not necessarily be a good thing. A lot of
the problems in the world can rather indirectly tie back into money.
Whether it be greed, corruption, poverty, or just the attitudes
people have to come with having an extreme amount of money, the green
stuff continues to tie back. The currency is different throughout the
world but really even if the name is different, the problem is still
the same.
Some people have gone as far to say
that money is the root of all evil. Which really might seem absurd
but if you look back, that statement makes a disturbing amount of
sense. One might go as far as saying that money is the number one
vice in the world, even above drugs and alcohol.
Crimes such as identity theft, fraud,
extortion, blackmail, all are likely to have some kind of monetary
gain tied right to it. Nine times out of ten the motive for any
crime, whether it be petty or violent is someone trying to scrap
together a little money. The biggest concern in the world is the
economy, as not enough money is flowing freely and inflation runs
wild, given that the demand is not there in many cases.
The job market is another problem.
There are many people who are unemployed. So one could summarize that
they would need a job. Why do these individuals need a job? So they
can make money and pay the bills. The companies that send out the
bills need the money to stay in business, so they can pay their
bills.
See how it is all one vicious cycle of
money, money, money, money, never ending, that's the thing we need to
thrive and survive.
We have evolved in many ways, even if
that point is debatable for any number of reasons. The happiness of
many people on the street lives and dies by if they can afford
certain things. If they cannot afford these things, it is because
they do not have the money.
So would all of the ills of the world
get solved if we actually took money out of the equation? Some might
but a Pandora's box of many other issues will be open. Even if we did
not have the green stuff, people may find some other metric to obsess
over, to elevate themselves.
There are many people who judge others
by the amount of money. Take money out and that leaves a hole, a
vacuum that needs to be filled. What will it be filled by? Likely
something else equally or more so petty.
Money makes the world go around in the
end. No matter how much we would like to say that money does not
matter, it kind of does. Just stop and think of how many actions that
you do are in some round about way are motivated by money. The answer
may in fact shock you.
Its the nature of the beast. One day,
some insane genius may come up with a golden solution to solve this
problem of money both being something that is simultaneously
destroying us but we are also dependent on. In the meantime, things
may get much worse as the economy weakens.
